People identified as a threat to homeland security, including individuals arrested in connection with the Capitol siege, will not be able to book with Expedia.

"These recent events underscore the importance of increasing collaboration between the travel industry and government entities," Expedia said in a statement Monday."Expedia Group has already begun conversations with industry partners and organizations on how we can promote greater engagement, alignment and information sharing between the travel industry and government authorities to ensure a safe travel environment in any future security emergency.

The rules require travelers to reconfirm their identity via copies of government-issued photo identification for bookings around the Washington area or any U.S. state capital. Guests must provide this information before their check-in time, or their reservation will be canceled. Guests who cancel their reservation where the new measures are taking place will be refunded, and the host will be paid in full, the company said.

Third-party security firms who work with local, state and federal governments and information security services will perform the checks on reservations and forward their findings to law enforcement when warranted, the company said. Hotels are also emphasizing COVID-19 mandates and enhancing security measures after the Capitol riots.

How do you determine who is a threat? Do you have to look a certain way? 🙄🤷‍♀️

If they are an actual threat and not an imagined one, shouldn't they be arrested or something? 🤔 What's the point of this booking nonsense?

THANK YOU!!
