“Scrutiny of Westerners in developing economies is an increasingly common phenomenon. Whether seeking trade or government secrets or attempting to determine a visitor’s ulterior motives for travel, in many countries hotel security and government officials work in tandem to surreptitiously police foreigners staying in their properties.Â
