Re: Mixed feelings
1) not just men, one of the main issues that caused this to blow up last year was that the casino decided to conduct dubiously legal searches of rooms while they were occupied lone females, not that a single man should feel relaxed about some random people forcing themselves into your hotel room.
2) Security refused to be clear about who they actually were, why they were there, or show ID. So going to a vegas casino now includes a free bonus roll of the dice to see if you get robbed, raped, or kidnapped in your hotel room by anyone who may or may not be security?
If the casino's are so concerned about "safety screening" they can set up a gun check at the entrances and a security checkpoint like everyone else. Instead they just decide to selectively target peoples rights to violate, with as little transparency or accountability as possible. Their policy is ineffective, deceptive, and likely to be abused to target minorities and other vulnerable individuals.
But hey, shill on my friend, and enjoy that false sense of security that only letting a hotel goon squad go through your daughters underwear while she takes a shower give you. I'm sure it will somehow make you completely safe in a town that literally rents tanks and mini-guns walking distance from your hotel room.
Or you could maybe show a little backbone and listen to the people that think that showing ID and having the hotel acknowledge they sent security, and why, isn't a vary big ask or threat to public safety.
That no one, especially a lone woman, should feel pressured to let strangers into their room without having a trustworthy third party present.
That a hotel shouldn't have powers we don't let the police or government have, and for good reasons.
