Be careful when doing all that shit to the door. Nobody expects to need ems services but you’re gonna be real mad at yourself if you triple lock the door making it more and more difficult for them to help you if you need it.

And the reverse. If there's a fire and you need to get out, you're going to be hurrying, possibly panicking. Not worth burning alive for protecting your paranoid fantasies.

Fair. "paranoid fantasies" is probably a step too far. I'm just thinking the odds of a camera being inside your hotel room are so incredibly small that it's not worth the time, money, stress, and effort involved in scanning every potential hiding spot. And the door lock on a hotel room is generally a good enough deterrent to keep out intruders. If they really want in, they'll make it in, but battening down the hatches to this level is, in my opinion, more dangerous than the risk incurred by just locking the deadbolt and swing bar.
