> you (and all the other commenters here) accept this rule like sheeps

What do you mean "accept this rule like sheeps"? Do you expect violent resistance? Do you want to sue someone because a security guy poked their head in the room for 30s? How would "I do not accept this rule like sheeps" look like in your opinion? How far would you go resisting it?

> you US citizens

Wrong assumption.

> So don't take this personally,

I won't. Clearly you don't know anything about me.

> appear like they find it totally normal

I can explain what is a fact of life (they have this policy) without expressing my opinion about it.

> No 24h check will ever hinder a mass-shooter.

As clearly stated in my comment.

> The criminal would just wait until room cleaning made their job, then go to his car and get the big suitcase with all the guns and ammunition one can buy entirely too easy in the US. And then he can shot from his room, minutes after this compulsory do-nothing 24h "security" check.

Yes. Exactly this is described in my comment.

> that would be null and void over here.

Thank you. Interesting addition to the conversation about how it is in Germany. Different places have wildly different legal norms and expectations.

For me it is hard o get upset about this either way. A hotel is a different type of arrangement than renting.
