Say hello to luggage screening at hotels from now on.

I can see why you might say that, but I can't see the public standing for it. If hotels do that on their own, guests will go elsewhere. If that becomes law.....well, that's something different.

 

Also, given that guests need access from different points, such as parking garages, I can't see the public ever putting up with total control of entry like we have at airports.
