That, sir, was quite clever!

While on a trip to Israel I had several meetings in a room on the 5th floor of our hotel. I had noticed an odd looking vent/register out in the hallway, and once I sat down inside I tried to figure out what the round device below was for:

At the next day's meeting I noticed a ladder over in a corner leading up through the ceiling. But that didn't make sense because we were not near the top floor. Did it lead to a tunnel?

Then I saw a rug covering what appeared to be a trap door. I put 2 and 2 together and realized that once could travel between floors with such an arrangement. I also realized that there was a similar meeting room on each of the 10 floors of the hotel.

So then I really began to examine the room. Behind an accordion door I saw what had to be an air filtration system, and then the light bulb (finally) came on. They must be able to create a positive pressure to keep sheltering guests from getting bad gas etc. And the round device had to be a one-way vent.

When I turned off the lights at the end of the day, I noticed one more ingenious thing - everything important to life support in the room glowed in the dark!

It's sad they have to take such precautions, but I applaud their advance planning!
