    using the second unique identifier and location information to confirm that the person is currently located at an access point of the restricted area; and

    causing actuation of a mechanical actuator to enable the person'"'"'s entrance into the restricted area when it is determined that the person desires to enter the restricted area, the person is authorized to enter the restricted area, and the person is currently located at the access point of the restricted area.
