 I am for sure a “paranoid crypto anarchist”, but I’m also kind of a paranoid privacy nut, and I can’t help but think this fire alarm above the bed might be hiding a camera 👀. https://i.nostr.build/Ais97yw02jiTiD1K.jpg  
 There is so many features on that wall that it could be hidden anywhere. 
 lol true 👀 
 i mean the 3 phones gave it away 
 😂🙏 
 That could definitely be one of them 
 👀 I know… the crazy part is the celling is so high that even standing on the bed I can not reach it to cover with tape 😂 
 Damm 😯🤌 
 If you're really paranoid about that, get an RF detector.  
 Actually I have one and I usually travel with it, but I left it at home this time 🥵. So far no room has ever had a camera lol but this time I think it would be interesting to check. 
 it’s always interesting to check. 🤷 
 😂 yeah, although I dono what I would do if I ever found something. I guess you have to call the cops 👀🥵🫣 
 that’s exactly what youd do. 
 I would just break whatever it was. 😂 Especially if it was in a hotel room or something. 
 Right! 
 Although I guess reporting it would probably be a good idea also because if your room is bugged then other people's rooms are bugged and that shit is definitely illegal as hell and an invasion of privacy. But I know I'm preaching to the choir here.

I have a predisposition to just not call the cops. 😅 
 Yeah same, that’s why I said, “who would I call, the cops?” But in this case 1 - exactly what you mentioned and 2 - if you just tell a manager it’s probably something they are part of, they will “pretend to care”, come “take care of it” or move you to another room, then come in while you are sleeping and kill you so you don’t later talk about it 👀 I mean that’s just my thought process 😂 and in that case considering both 1&2 I would call the cops 👮 
 Any particular you recommend?  
 I'd be thinking it too.  
 😂🤷‍♀️ I mean with so many crazy things going on in the world, it’s worth checking everything, because it could be 👀 
 Absolutely. 👍🏻In the last year I've somehow started to quite a lot more obsessively notice the surveillance that's everywhere and all around. I think it's good training in required elevated viggilance and I am taking it seriously and slowly taking precausions.  
 Yes 
 The only reasonable thing to do is hold a lighter flame to it and see what happens 
 But it’s soooo high that I can’t even reach it while standing on the bed 
 then the only other reasonable thing to do is get a flame thrower   
 😂 what a genius idea 😂😂😂 
 I like the way you think 
 it is disgusting if someone actually put them hidden. Or is they put it in bathrooms... 😞 
 Well, have you been reading the news 😰 it’s kinda happening. Some people are not okay in the head. 
 Luckily not much but I have seen some and authorities were not really doing anything about it. It doesn't make much sense to me, why would anyone think yes, it is ok to put secret camera in and record my customers. Not being okay in the head can explain it 😂. 
 🤣🤣🤣
