Metabolism detector
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The metabolism detector was a mechanism in the Doctor's TARDIS which allowed no one to enter it with the TARDIS key except for the Doctor. Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart failed in his attempt to open the TARDIS door due to the detector. (TV: Spearhead from Space [+]Loading...["Spearhead from Space (TV story)"])
