This is absolutely ridiculous. Imagine some fuckers just coming into your room while you’re with your SO making love or something.

    All hotels reserve the right to inspect your room whenever they need to. The privacy sign just means you don’t want room service, it’s not some magical lock.

    They’d still knock, not just burst into your room to catch you in flagrante.

    That said seeing the black hat conference in this way is daft.

      Not to mention the metal hook lock on most room doors I’ve seen that can prevent anyone from entering while you’re still inside.

        Every hotel with those has a tool they can use to easily unlatch that lock.

          I mean if you’re in the room you can atleast stop them from doing that rather easily.

            I mean sure if you wedge the door or something, but then you’re just going to get kicked out.

              Or you just walk up to the person and say “Hey. I’m in here…”

                  Yeah, no where did it say they will walk in on your ass having sex. Maybe you should actually read the article.

                    When did I say anything about anyone having sex? What?

                    They’re doing visual inspections of rooms because they don’t trust the scary hacker people in them. What do you think telling them you’re in the room is going to accomplish?
