"Where they shouldn't be", i.e. in a hotel room? Of a hacker conference? Along with USB drives, breadboards, and a soldering iron?
Whole thing makes no sense. If someone's going to hack the hotel they're not going to be stopped by housekeeping doing a visual check! It is very much Politician's Syllogism, as mentioned elsewhere in the thread.

You can put pretty much anything you want at the end of this sentence and then discount it as posturing. "Check if nothing weird is plugged where it shouldn’t be" is basic policy.
It’s not supposed to be an invulnerable shield. It’s just an easy to make step in the direction of security and therefore worthwhile.
I prefer not to comment about the general contempt I see for housekeeping staff throughout the comments in this thread. I think it would paint a pretty sad picture of this community.
