		<description>&lt;i&gt;How much ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‹Å“betterÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢ does this door protect a room? I mean dust, pollen, bugs and germs are pretty small, and will still fit through the smaller opening, no?&lt;/i&gt;

Yes, but not nearly as many of them at one time. Your typical door frame is roughly 7&#039; x 3&#039; = 21 square feet of opening for all those little critters to get through when the door is open. But with this new segmented door, it looks like only 40% of it is usually open at any time when someone passes through it. That means 60% of those critters that try to enter the room when the door is open will still bump into the door instead. Of course, most of the remaining 40% will just bump into the person instead, but could still get through if they cling to that person as s/he&#039;s coming through.

That said, it seems to me that the security function that IDs specific people would be a much more useful feature for most people and businesses.</description>
