Well, when guests put the "do not disturb" sign on the door, hotels should respect their wishes, right? If I put that sign on the door and then find out that my room was entered nevertheless, I would also think really hard before booking a room at that hotel (chain) again, not because I had something to hide, but out of principle. Also, what are they hoping to find? An unlocked laptop with some kind of hacking software running? I don't think hackers worth their salt would be so naive (except maybe if they leave the laptop there as a "honeypot")?

I did not see any thread under the post (a good reminder to use proper language when pointing such things out, the other person might not have seen there there is a thread). Regardless, I am not a user of X so I won't be able to see the thread. Thanks for inlightening with some examples!

  > No, that’s not how hotels work. Do not disturb is a courtesy afforded to you. Every hotel checks room regularly as a matter of compliance. You don’t notice because these people are professional. The truth is you are not a guest but a customer. In the US? There are several countries where that would be illegal.

Hotels don't care about a laptop left around running. My guess property damage or simply disgusting room.

  Or attempts to access any place not usually accessed. Wiring in general, but also questionable devices connected to networking or phone lines, if there is those around...
