I don't want to lose freedoms, but I'm completely fine with a cursory lookover being mandatory on check-in. No shuffling or touching the luggage, but just a look at the bag. Similar to an airport garage search where you pop the trunk to make sure there is no rifles in it.

I'm sure you have all been to airport garages. They do a quick "plain sight" search that is very non-invasive. They take a peek at your backseat, take a hard look into your trunk without opening anything or poking around. I don't think anyone should have a problem with that.

Due to the vantage point the hotels allow and the sheer number of people in the surrounding areas.
