POST-MUMBAI, COMMON SENSE ADVICE FOR TRAVELLERS: STAY AT SMALL HOTELS

JIHADO-TERRORISTS NEED TO ATTACK BIG THINGS TO CREATE MEGA-TERROR AND GET THE HEADLINES THEY CRAVE.

SO, STAY AT SMALL HOTELS.

NYTIMES: Analysts Say It Will Be Difficult to Shield Luxury Hotels From Terrorist Attacks
But last week’s lethal attacks on two of India’s most famous hotels — coming just two months after a huge truck bomb devastated the Marriott in Islamabad, Pakistan — have underlined the extent to which these hotels are becoming magnets for terrorists. Worse, hotel executives and security experts say that little can be done to stop extensively trained gunmen with military assault rifles and grenades who launch attacks like the ones that left this city’s Oberoi and Taj Mahal Palace & Tower strewn with bodies.
ADVICE:
  • REPEAT: STAY AT SMALL HOTELS.
  • BUY STOCKS IN CHAINS OF SMALL HOTELS.
  • START A SMALL HOTEL CHAIN - WITH TIGHT SECURITY.
