Any presumption of property safety in IETF meeting rooms is misplaced.
Unfortunately, I do not, for one second, believe that checking badges at the
door changes this particular security exposure.
As much as our group tone and longevity encourages the view of collegial
familiarity, in reality most of the 1200, or so, attendees are strangers to each
other. In most of the world, trusting 1200 strangers to keep one's property
safe is not especially rational.
