After Las Vegas. Does this mean we'll be 'scanned' to enter a hotel?

Usually an open window sucks air and smoke out, but not this time! The smoke stayed in the room and set the fire alarm off! How very convenient.

Damn straight, gun owners are going to be the new smokers, soon you will have hotels that are gun free, personally I would book in at the gun free hotel.

Gun free zones are have little impact on criminals.

Criminals do not mind the law, hence calling then criminals.

I agree. 'Mass' murders happen all over America in small hotels - every day and night.

If you looked into how many people were killed in 'small' hotels, the child trafficking, the prostitution, drug sales, they ALL kill. Just not in one moment but I'm sure those deaths, overall, are more than this tragedy, and I emphasize this tragedy.

Just saying it's the 'elites' that will be protected...

Not the 'other's...

That just means you get to invest in backscatter devices before the industry booms.

There, I just made you an easy 100k in ten years.

This is gonna kill the business in Las Vegas-just the memory-I doubt any more concerts at that venue or any large venues for awhile. The tragedy will take time to soften our minds.

I predict very big losses in Vegas visitation and revenue for a while. I don't think any expensive resolve to the theory of additional security measures. I know this will sound crazy-because I am not a big proponent of gun control-but this Vegas slaughter and with huge and massive hotels and venues-how about it becomes a gunfree zone? Of course with the exception of security.

I would feel better because as it stands right now-I don't have any interest in visiting Vegas-been there many times-it has all changed for me with this tragedy.

Outlaws don't mind the law.

but a criminal is anyone who has committed a crime, purposeful or not.

Speeding by mistake doesn't mean you're a lawless person, but at that moment you are a criminal.

The point is law doesn't care about intent, so it's silly to assume intent wouldn't be considered in the ban.

What do you think carries a larger sentence? A shooting or a shooting in a gun free zone? This is what they are considering.

I really want to make that political, but won't. Too easy, too unrefutable.

Each establishment (business owner) has the right to scan, metal detect, security cam, their premises upon entry if they so choose.

Some of the hotels aredy have security at the elivatores wouldn't be to hard to imagine they use a metal detector ... the casinos own this state tho so whatever is best for the casino is what will be done

Tell me these criminals do they get their guns on to aeroplanes ?

Can they get past the TSA ?, why would they get past hotel security if everyone was checked prior to entry... ?

Its really simple, if you really think about it.

The goal seems to be keep everyone scared and raise the prices.

A UK airline went into administration recently because people no longer travel as much, these hotels will succumb to the same reality.....

In the case of the airline it was caused by terrorists from muslim majority nations, the hotels will fail due to home grown terrorists .

There is a common theme, can you see it ?

a reply to: hopenotfeariswhatweneed Yes, I absolutely see it-just part of the times we live in.

There are many issues to grapple with in these situations. But the guns-we gotta do something. Las Vegas will now take a huge hit economically-but maybe by lowering their astronomical prices, a new revival will occur.

The sadness will linger for most of us. Too hard to visit a place with such tragedy attached but many times people do rally to support the victimized and who knows, maybe Vegas goers will be defiant and rush in to show courage and support.

Americans are great at that.

I don't have a link - only a question.

We have scanners in the airports.

Scanners in schools.

Closed concerts, movie theaters, etc.

In some hospitals now, if not all.

The 'Elite towers' and condos.

So now, will we add, metal detectors to enter hotels/motels?

Talk about freaking 'submit and obey'...

A little 4chan rabbit hole-check the date

a reply to: markovian Every hotel I every stayed at in Vegas had heavy security everywhere and especially at the elevators-which I found so odd. Now I know why- Vegas seems to attract the crazies or wannabe crazies.

Maybe time to temper the outlandish Vegas accepted behavior. Adults acting like boozed up adolescents and adolescents acting like irresponsible addicts. Maybe it's "jumped the shark."
