Detecting hidden cameras in hotels?
What are some gadgets I can buy and take with me on trips to detect hidden cameras in hotels? Am I paranoid? Is it worth it?

Step 2: Listen carefully for screams coming from elsewhere in the hotel.

Surely this should be on the tech forum.
But anyway, I find that spray painting the room is very good at covering camera lenses
