I'm vacationing right now in San Diego and at first I thought the announcement was a Saturday Night Live Skit...but no then I realized it was on the "hotel" channel...

USA Department of Homeland Security PSA
Hilton has been identified as a member of this effort.
I deal with DHS/TSA at the airport on a routine basis and DO NOT want to see this group's self-serving propaganda whenever I turn on the TV or during any other activities during my stay
Hilton: Please abstain.

Saw this a few times while staying at an Intercontinental in LA (ICH). Wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Could have been a lot worse, in regards to production and presentation.

No flying this month so I figure, no TSA .... Couldn't believe this until I saw & heard it in person, piped in via LodgeNet - while we're checked into this premier 5 star luxury resort in the Northeast over the weekend, part of the elite worldwide Preferred Hotels & Resorts group. Only noticed it this time while I turned on the HDTV to hookup my HDMI cable to stream video, and the PSA began to play, LOL.
"If you see something ....." as the video run, oh dear.
Yeah, sure - I look down from the 20th. floor into valet parking and I see 2 lines of "unattended" vehicles waiting to be driven into the basement garage while the attendants are busy - and lots of suspicious items, luggages ....

next to unoccupied vehicles with out of state license plates, etc. to the "local authorities" - since the closest state police barrack with likely jurisdiction is only 5 and 10 minutes away to see their code response. Then, I figured, nah, if something does happened, hotel security have access to and were checking vehicle drivers' "reported" last name against a computerized list of guests with booked reservations (but no government "valid" photo ID match & checks done) and since the place is heavy on cameras, let them worry about it.
Afterall, I wasn't thrilled 
about a possilbe lockdown or worse, a vertical evacuation down the fire stairs, sirens going off & emergency lightening illuminating the escape and ruining my sleep & that of other guests.
