"Raytheon's Marriott code 9753 is a defense contractor code. Defense company codes at Marriott receive moderate scrutiny — defense employee IDs are typically security-badged and distinctive.

"I work as a consultant and frequently ask for and use my client's rates (at their insistence, since I will be billing them back). I have been asked for ID maybe one time in 15 since February, when it was announced in this forum that rates would be ID'ed."
