Has it changed our behavior knowing that we are perhaps
being watched whenever we are in a hotel room?  Those
universal cheapy hotel clocks can have a transmitting
camera placed in them in such a way that one cannot find
the device without disassembling the clock.  Any previous
guest could have swapped in a transmitter cam and might
be watching you.  The clock cams are less than 100 bucks
now.  If you drop a towel over the clock, can you be
sure there aren't other cameras somewhere in the room?  
The snoop takes practically no risk of getting caught.  
He could be sitting out in the parking lot recording
everything, perhaps several rooms at once.  If I had 
ever been guilty of impropriety on a business trip I 
would be a worried man right now.
