The cost most likely is over a million dollars though. 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, and even $10 per hour gives close to $100,000 in salary for each gatehouse. We certainly have more than 10 gatehouses. Add in electricity and maintenance and it's a pretty good number.

We may not need the attendants, even as helpful as they are, but the gates are invaluable.
