        .@Marriott @GlennF makes a compelling case for why your legal position is unwarranted. Network defense does not justify offensive posture.

        .@BWJones @Marriott Given that the issue arose because Marriott was blocking personal hotspots, this falls very flat.

        @GlennF @BWJones Jamming personal hotspots also exposes guests to potentially insecure @Marriott network. Argument falls even flatter.

        @BoingBoing @JazzShaw I don't use personal wifi that often in hotels. That said, Marriott will lose my business if ban goes through.

        @BoingBoing Maybe they'll start blocking mobile phone calls too - to force usage of their outrageous long distance call rates.
