So quite a few people are carrying equipment that costs several times what some of the hotel staff earn in a year.

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.
