Gents-

Citing only national security, and without a warrant or subpoena, the FBI 
has demanded the guest lists from Las Vegas hotels for the New Year's 
holiday. All but one has complied. (I'd like to know which one, since 
that's where I'll be staying from now on.)

Also note in the article that the request went to "major hotels", as if 
terrorists are above staying in an off-strip roach motel.
