[hackerspaces] Open Access Control

[john arclight]

It seems that some of the better ones have a contact sensor. Otherwise, I'd
recommend not using a door magnet for anything high security.

Speaking of crypto, I think my next project might be integrating the
Lantronix Xport AR to a microcontroller. It has built-in SSL, ssh, etc and
looks to be very customizable.
