It isn't unique to the FS. Most in-room hotel safes use technology that makes them trivially easy to open, hence they frequently have a disclaimer that they are provided as a courtesy only, with no liability by the hotel for their contents, and you should use the real hotel safe (by the front desk) for any valuables. FS is no different in this regard. But there is presumably pretty limited and controlled room access at most FS, particularly remote locations. The usual scam is to remove a couple of bills, and leave the rest, hoping that it will not be noticed but just attributed to a miscount. Very common to have a traveler cheque stolen from the back of the book (so it won't be missed for a while).
