According to her, when a finger is placed on a standard mirror, it comes in contact with the reflection. If it doesn’t, this means the mirror is a two-way mirror. A two-way mirror may signify you are being watched, which is why it’s so important to check all mirrors when in a hotel.
Tip Two: Showers
The flight attendant then moved to the bathroom and used her phone’s flashlight to check the showers for hidden cameras. Cases of hidden cameras in bathrooms are becoming quite commonplace.
