Comments on: UK Backs Down on ‘Guilt Upon Accusation’ Laws http://holloway.co.nz/blog/2009/01/uk-backs-down-on-guilt-upon-accusation-laws/ Blog Fri, 07 May 2010 19:15:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: admin http://holloway.co.nz/blog/2009/01/uk-backs-down-on-guilt-upon-accusation-laws/comment-page-1/#comment-53 admin Tue, 27 Jan 2009 04:21:53 +0000 http://holloway.co.nz/blog/?p=86#comment-53 I like this response on Arstechnica, "That's a laugh. A 2004 survey found that 61% of hotel guests stole toiletries (including soap): http://articles.latimes.com/2004/jul/04/travel/tr-insider4 . But then this quote: "Towels win as the most swiped items, said Tia Gordon, spokeswoman for the American Hotel & Lodging Assn." This seems to indicate that even though 3 times as much soap-stealing is going on as towel-stealing, hotels don't even notice the loss of the soap." I like this response on Arstechnica,
