In Ayn Rand's novel "The Fountainhead," the term "booby hatch" is used as a colloquial expression to refer to the Manhattan Criminal Courts Building, which is portrayed as an old, dilapidated structure in the story. It is where Peter Keating is criminally tried and often depicted as a symbol of the negative aspects of society.
