That implies that they're running background checks on the ID I provide??
That would make me 100x *less* likely to use them.
I've heard of hotels snooping social media to gather intelligence on future guests, but I haven't heard of one running a background check to determine whether the future guest is a degenerate (presumably someone with a criminal record?). In foreign countries where passport information is systematically collected, I just assume the police use the data to track the movement of the guest while he/she is in the country.
