  3. Give your towels some love! I knew there was a reason why I always packed one.

    I also keep the door deadbolt locked when I’m in the room for extra safety and take advantage of a room safe if I have one. I’ve somehow managed to cram my laptop in safes of all shapes and sizes… sometimes they’re much bigger than they look so give it a try!

  4. It’s also fairly easy to reprogram many of the key card door locks, assuming you’ve got the right decoder for the door model. Reminds me of the recent (likely Mossad) assassination in Dubai. It’s speculated they used one of these methods to get in the door before the murder.

    When I was at the HOPE (Hackers On Planet Earth) convention last year there were several great talks and demonstrations of lock picking (and a hands on lab for fun). Many of the experts were incredible in how fast they could open most locks, physical, electronic, and otherwise.
