Tradecraft concept for using in-room hotel safes as a divergent security frontline for (actual) valuables or a self-actuating surveillance device with quick, no special equipment setup.

REDACTED LOCKER

A weakness in security can be exploited to actually harden it’s intended measure by using it for the same desired result but in an alternate way:

The safe as a decoy. It can be used to misdirect a would-be thief or other player by placing items that seem valuable or important in the safe for the purpose of it being taken, in order to protect the actual items of importance or value.

The “actual items” would be hidden elsewhere in the room or extrinsically nearby. The objective is to satisfy the subject into giving them what they think they want so they move on with their mission.

The other functions of this hotel room safe method is for capturing a photographic / video image of a subject or to tag a subject with a tracer without them knowing as they access the interior of the safe.

Of which both functions are unwittingly activated by the subject by opening the safe or triggered from moving a specific item within the safe.

In any case, these methods aren’t always the most secure or necessary. It depends on your situational needs and operational objectives.

Be it a stressful covert OP in a safe mega city or a pleasant vacation in a harsh third world country.
