Reference: but not just to The Matrix.
Pop culture references include the Police Phone Box time machine in
the long running British TV series 'Dr Who', Superman and his phone
box changing rooms, 'Bill and Ted', etc, etc, etc.
I suspect that The Matrix itself was referring to some of those
things. You want to save the world? Use a phone box.
What I wonder is: is the Ministry entry system programmed to detect
sincerity? So Harry and Co. get in because they announce that it's
an emergency rescue mission and the Female Voice Entry System
detects that they are sincere. They are then allowed in because it
comes under the 'emergency' category.
