Suitcases in hotels are suspicious now? I'll skip maid service for a the duration of my trip if it's a week or less, and let them in once a week if longer. I don't have new towels and bed sheets daily at home why would I need them changed daily in a hotel? > One search like this could have prevented the Vegas shooting, and its worth it. And one search of any mass shooters house would have likely stopped them as well. Should we encourage them as well. I mean WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN? > There is a line we shouldn't cross as far as privacy / safety, but if you're staying in a hotel, you're on their property Then let me verify the security staff, and don't have them steal my shit. If I have "objectional material" you ask me to leave or ditch the stuff, you don't take it. > in a shared public space -- same as on an airplane or mass transit. No it's really not. > Lets agree that there shouldn't be any unknown contraband / dangerous items in the hotel for everyone's sake. Let's not. Knives are dangerous, vodka is dangerous, hell water is dangerous, lets ban that to.
