frank,
You've got a point. But, Nony & slick are simply letting you know that we're all aware of this crap. And, 99% of the folks on this board are well aware of how not to get caught up in it.
It may be news to some, but, LEO has been funding hotel targeted "Trafficking Awareness" for decades. Yes, decades. Some areas get more of it. Some get less. A good bit of the material left behind is rather accurate. But, some is highly amusing. Secondly amusing is that hotel employee turnover is rather high, so you have to wonder why leo actually runs training seminars. But hotels put up with it so as to not hack off leo.
Nowadays no hotel in the US will let an underage person register for a room. Amusing that a good bit of the first part of the current training material pertains to that. So we're left with trying to identify pimps. The material tries to present profiling concepts, but it's a sadly amusing mess.
What's going on now is that a few years ago LEO started using news releases on stings, and trafficking arrests, to justify requesting additional grants to provide more hotel training. Think about that. Leo gets grant money so that LEO staff can be paid, and also get expense paid traveling to various cities, etc. Damm, an all expense paid traveling work/vacation thing with their evenings and weekends free to do whatever civies do when they are out of town away from their spouses.
My conclusion:
If a business woman, or guy, is discrete, has a cover story, researches/verifies their dates, etc, they are not going to have a problem. Discrete also includes not using hotels that are frequented by BP folks, not hacking off the maids or front desk staff, and not lurking around in the hallways or lobby. Leave that crap to the Backpage folks, whom leo is quite happy to collect, so they can issue another press release.
