Security scans..

[BOBdotEXE]

so when I first when into the glass scanning room, the games like "Activating security scan!"
And I'm like, "COOL"

3 scans later, it starts to get a little unnessasary,
now I'm on like the 6 or 7th security scan...

I know they only take like 15 sec,
but after a while they get kinda anoying...

They do but its the devs way of loading a new area.

Like Ryat said, would you prefer a loading screen?

[BOBdotEXE]

I figured it may be a loading scereen,
but was not sure.

This and the elevators, kill me

Actually, I'm pretty sure security scans have little to do with loading. There's several spots in the game where you have multiple possibilities to enter buildings. Entering through a security door causes the wait, while entering through an alternative method results in no load time so I think this is more just intended to reflect the locations they're used in than any necessity for loading. Elevators may be a different story, but I'm not positive on that one either. The only elevator I was really annoyed with was the long one in Picus that takes like 5 minutes..

Frankly, I'd prefer a loading screen over the security scans. They do get annoying and you have to sit through them even with a SSD or high end HDD.

yeah, I think it was supposed to be a loading screen for consoles, but it has a fixed length, (to go throught the full animation)
so even playing from a ramdisk, you'd still have the same wait time.
