I was under the impression that it usually referred to the 'maid' in a hotel room cleaning service, when rooms were cleaned more regularly before COVID. If you were away on business somewhere sketchy, the cleaning service could physically access your room and your documents / laptop in an at rest state, potentially without you knowing. This could be particularly a concern years ago if the country that you were in was hostile and the cleaning crews in major hotels had embedded state security (the other side of the iron curtain than you were from or something)
