Travelers concerned about privacy in temporary accommodations now have an accessible way to check their surroundings. A newly highlighted Claude Code prompt reportedly allows users to turn a standard laptop into a detection tool for spotting hidden surveillance equipment before unpacking.
The system utilizes the laptop's built-in wireless capabilities to scan the local environment. It sweeps for active Wi-Fi devices, Bluetooth trackers, and nearby mobile signals to help identify suspicious hardware that could be monitoring the space.
This approach gives travelers staying in hotel rooms or Airbnbs an extra layer of security without requiring dedicated, specialized scanning gear, relying instead on software-driven prompts and existing hardware.
