interesting, could it be treated like a cyber hostage taking?

@Renegal coming from a hotel background, the fact that they don't have a power outage backup key system is irresponsible.

Sounds a lot like the book Ubik by Phillip K Dick. Joe Chip can not open his apartment door until he pays 10 cents. #iot

Even more terrifyingly: locked *in*. Now imagine if a fire broke out. How's this even allowed?
