A travel tip here for those who live to travel and use alternative accommodation services such as AirBnB and participate in acts of copulation. Most important take away – ALWAYS check around for any hidden cameras potentially in the property you are renting. Unlike hotels and even bed and breakfasts who care about their reputation and know it will ruin their business it is far more likely that when using AirBnB and hiring a place to stay from pretty much anyone with little vetting and no business to seriously worry about losing that you could end up like the unfortunate germane couple who found a hidden camera when staying in Irvine, California using the popular AirBnB app late last year.
Now it has emerged that an anonymous / fake user on Facebook has been announcing on a popular Facebook page that he films guests and shares the footage with other equally unscrupulous AirBnB hosts and while this hasn’t been confirmed it is another scary warning for all travelers to be extra aware.
This off the back of reports recently to check for certain coat hangers in hotel bathrooms that have been rigged with a discreet hidden camera and usb that allows perverts to record people using the toilets and showers. So when travelling in all cases be vigilant and check around just to be safe.
So watch out for those toilet / bathroom coat hooks to ensure they don’t contain a micro camera. The person planting these simply needs to collect them up, remove the casing and plug into a USB port on their computer to retrieve the photos or videos it has recorded since it was last refreshed. A scary prospect to consider you could become internet famous for all of the wrong reasons and you had zero part to play. It is one thing making videos yourself and accepting their is some risk but to have it go to another level and be in hidden cameras potentially anywhere is a scary privacy concern. So keep your eyes open and don’t limit your inspection to just the coat hooks consider what the next thing they might use in a hotel bathroom and check it, turn it or whatever you have to do for peace of mind.
