Half the comments are just people going back and forth about the Vegas shooting.&lt;p&gt;What this hotel(s) did was unacceptable. I hope some lawsuits come out of it for the more egregious violations. No one was worried about some hackers going off the deep end, this was a heavy handed display of power over guests. I&amp;#x27;m surprised none of the intruders had guns drawn on them. These were unidentifiable goons seemingly breaking into rooms. DEFCON is the most important security event of the year, I do hope there is a boycott after this event and all of these hotels are blacklisted by the security community.</text></comment>

If security are so concerned why aren&amp;#x27;t they doing that here?&lt;p&gt;If hotel security forced their way into my room in any property I stay at at I&amp;#x27;d be checking out immediately and would be doing a credit card charge back on any charges.</text></comment>
