FROM A VERY RELIABLE SOURCE:
WARNING: HOTEL CARD KEYS
"Listen-Up" For you travelers that stay in the more "sophisticated" Inns,
Hotels, Motels .....:-)
For those of you who don't know, credit card type hotel room keys are
imbedded with
personal information such as the customer's name, partial home address,
hotel room number,
check-in and check-out date, and the customer's credit card information,
including the
expiration date. While the information is electronically overwritten when
used for a new
customer, a dishonest employee can easily access this information by
scanning the card.
All are urged NEVER return these cards to the hotel desk or leave them in a
waste basket.
Take it home and cut it up with a scissor.

Thanks for putting in some real practical advice. I travel a lot and even though I was in law enforcement, it never occurred to me to keep the magnetic key to destroy it.
Your post about ethical creed of lawyers was a real eye-opener. Wonder how many of them have read that lately?
