I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. That people are routinely turning over the most valuable document they have to complete strangers. What do you do? Stand by the desk for how ever long it takes the clerk to record the information? Yes. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

Bryan Olson writes: Do you have a source better than the U.S. State Department on that? The U.S. State Department is not a reliable source for anything except U.S. policies. I know you can make stuff up. I asked if you had any source, as I did: You may be required to leave your passport at the hotel reception desk overnight so it may be checked by local police officials. These are normal procedures required by local laws. [Department of State Publication 10542, Bureau of Consular Affairs, April 1998] http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/...ures_1225.html -- --Bryan |

I asked you to point to a law actually requiring hotels to keep passports overnight in some country of Western Europe, and you did not do so.

European laws don't require that its contents be recorded when you check into hotels. Hotel clerks don't ask for your wallet -- there's no reason why they would. However, if, for some reason I decided I didn't want to carry my wallet and I didn't want to leave it in the room safe, then, yes, I'd leave it at the front desk to be placed in the hotel safe. Wow. Okay. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

I asked you to point to a law actually requiring hotels to keep passports overnight in some country of Western Europe, and you did not do so. I backed up what I claimed. You on the other hand... Mxsmanic (Anthony Atkielski) claimed: It's not required by law. The U.S. State Department says: These are normal procedures required by local laws. [Department of State Publication 10542, Bureau of Consular Affairs, April 1998] I asked if you had anything to back up your claim, and so far all you've posted is your own ramblings. Of course you want me to do all the work, but I've supported my claims already. Case closed. Pretty much. -- --Bryan |

Just for reference, you are licensed to practice law in which jurisdictions? How is that relevant? -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
