My husband sent me a link to this hilarious article on Consumerist.com about hotels using RFID (radio frequency transmitters) on their towels to keep them from walking off. I knew things had been bad for hotels over the past couple of years, but I had no idea they’d resort to something like this. Just the idea of checking out of the hotel and beeping like you’ve got metal in your pockets makes me laugh out loud. Still, it is a creative solution to sticky problem. I mean who wants to frisk their guest before they leave? Just remember, if you’re in Hawaii to leave that plush pink towel behind or they’ll track you down.
