Now I wonder, how big is this then? 4M hotels in the US, what slice of the pie is that compared to the whole number of hotels in the US? And how many in Europe/Australia/Asia, do they use completely different locks?
Also, just because you leaked the details today (yesterday?), how realistic is his worry that evil parties might copy the tech before the weekend? :)
And indeed, doesn't every hotel room have a small safe, I don't just keep my passport there, but also my laptop, camera and phone if I don't take them with me.
And indeed indeed, I never even considered whether the door to my hotel room would be "secure", if maintenance and cleaning have a universal key, it's mostly a privacy measure, rating somewhat above a bathroom stall lock. It might be different if they wouldn't all have a small safe, though.
Now I do wonder how secure those safes are, in general :) Any idea? (edit: whoops I should've read the thread further, this has already been discussed--great discussion though, keep it up!)
