Your Hotel Room Is Not Safe pt. 2

Well friends, your hotel room is not safe.  All it takes is a rubber band to defeat that little sliding lock you felt so safe behind.  Since all hotel doors have peep holes is the chain really necessary?  You can see who is out side anyway, and I'm not sure I'd wager safety on a small chain and a door open 3 inches to see if it is the pizza man or cucuy.  Also, if I remember correctly aren't those sliding looks considerably higher up on the door than right above the handle?  Enjoy this instructional educational video.

Your Hotel Room Is Not Safe

Almost all modern hotels use those fancy credit card style locks.  A quick swipe and you are back into your comfortable $59.95 Motel 6 room.  Well lo and behold those locks are not safe!  They are easily picked opened from the inside with a cool looking folding wire.  How does it work?  Well a suspicious man wearing glasses carries a long metal tool down the hallway of your hotel.  He finds his target and slides the wire under the door to pull down the handle.  Bam! Full access to clothing and sunscreen lotion from that vacationing family in room 127!  If you stuff a towel in the handle it protects you... sorta.
