I wish I could pull down good taxpayer money for STUPID ideas.
How about housekeepers buying themselves a whistle?
Oh for the love of pete!

It would be cheaper just to ban foriegn elitist diplomats and Kennedy’s wouldn’t it?
10 of them in 3 years for the whole country?? Well by golly lets force every hotel to spend thousands to prevent this common everyday tragedy
They could just get them each a can of mace.
My guess is that this ‘lawmaker’ just happens to know a company that will sell these (be licensed), and who also happens to be a donor to that lawmaker’s campaign.
Why do these buggers think that everything can be fixed with legislation?
Arm the housekeeping staff and be done with it. In fact, only 10% would need to be armed. Just don’t identify those who are.
Everyone knows that the fastest way to end this type of crime is to ban all Frenchmen from entering the US.
Maybe hotels should recruit more male housekeepers and give female employees the option to not work a room occupied by a single man.
The gizmo with a button would be totally useless unless the hotel is wired with a complicated system of sensors that tell security where the owner of the gadget is. That wiring will cost you 100x more than the device itself because you need to drill holes, pull wires, etc. But a common FRS/GMRS radio allows the housekeeper to tell security where they are and what they are about to do. Police officers, for example, say "about to make contact" when approaching a suspicious suspect.
How about letting them carry concealed when on the job. Shoot a few of the rapist bast***s and the rape rate would drop suddenly.
Best to leave the door open and have a chaperone outside. Surely luxury hotels have a bored bellhop hanging around somewhere.
Yeah, let’s call it “the trigger of a Glock”.
