From https://marcrogers.org/2018/08/13/open-letter-to-the-hacker-.. https://marcrogers.org/2018/08/13/open-letter-to-the-hacker-.... (linked in the article):
"Yes hotel staff NEED to check rooms but if we, who can change the very building blocks of life, can’t come up with a safer way to do this then we really aren’t trying hard enough."
No, they don't. They have thousands of security cameras set up, and I'd be shocked if they didn't have technologies like facial recognition built in. They have the ability to do a background check on every guest who checks in. They also have people working the front desk who likely get training to see if you're a "bad guy" or not.
So with all that, please explain why this additional search, which is a massive violation of privacy (and apparently the Constitution) is necessary?
- dreamcompiler 8y agoNot a violation of the Constitution unless government agents searched rooms without warrants or permission. Management of the hotel are bound by local laws and their own policies, but not by the constitution. Rationale: You can always choose another hotel with policies you like better, but you can't choose another government. Constitution only applies to governments for that reason.
