USa Today - TSA PSA's on your hotel TV
Starting today, the welcome screens on 1.2 million hotel television sets in Marriott, Hilton, Sheraton, Holiday Inn and other hotels in the USA will show a short public service announcement from DHS. The 15-second spot encourages viewers to be vigilant and call law enforcement if they witness something suspicious during their travels.

Three data points for for the discussion:
- I am staying in a Hilton and did not see it.
- Who watches the welcome screen on Lodge Net?
- What did DHS pay for this insertion?

Well, it's finally official - the department of homeland security is now in bedrooms.
I've already sent complaints to the two hotel programs that I spend the most nights in.

I had one front desk manager at a Hilton in the LA area tell me "we MUST see your photo ID because the DHS tells us to check it and confirm it against the reservation". Either 1) she was giving a line of boloney or 2) she was telling the truth and admitting something she wasn't supposed to.

Yeah, like I needed ANOTHER reason not to visit what remains of the US of A. 
One of my favorite things about travel is witnessing something "suspicious". If I wanted to see stuff I completely understood and that was completely familiar, it's cheaper to stay at home. @:-)
Sheesh.
