Even before he was spotted in the McDonalds I believe the FBI always knew exactly where he was. As I also suspected with Patty Hearst back in the day, they just want to see if they come in contact with more associates. Then some tipster just happens to turn them in. Really?
Even with the Unibomber: when LAX went buzerk about planes being bombed on the news relentlessly for a week saying he was going to attack; I said to my friends. OMG they know who the Unabomber is; they are just making sure we all are familiar with the story before they magically find an excuse to expose his whereabouts and arrest him. Same with Magione.
Two local police officers nabbed Mangione while he was munching fries in an Altoona, Pennsylvania McDonalds. (He’s probably not MAHA.) According to unconfirmed reports, even though Mangione was wearing his blue surgical face mask, an anonymous tipster recognized his distinctive eyebrows.

With 25 years of travel, I've NEVER been asked for an ID at a hotel domestically. I don't do hostels, but they're basically a yuppie hotel. They want a credit card. Foreign they need the passport at check in is one thing. Even if they did there's no chance they'd make a copy/scan of it.
I smell bull shit. Tell me I'm wrong, but I'm in a hotel about once a month on average. Never had an ID request domestically.

Sources had said the gunman in the shooting used a fake New Jersey ID with the same name "Marc Rosario" when he checked into a Manhattan hostel last month.

Welcome back, @casandra
Yes, I think that their tracking abilities are better than they let on, because if they let on, people would know how to evade them.
And there's the possibility that he was set up by the FBI, or maybe by Pelosi as yet another trading opportunity:

The deep state knows where we all are - why do you think "they" were pushing Obamaphones to people too poor and too old to afford or want smartphones? With a MAC ID and a GPS location, death by SWAT or drone is a FISA rubber-stamp warrant away. Every second, your phone pings a GPS location if enabled.
The only thing that blocks cell phone and GPS signals is a 100% ferromagnetic (solid steel) enclosure. I've tried it - those mylar things don't work too well in comparison.

@stereotomy How did you test the steel vs mylar enclosures?
I suppose you could try calling the phone, or just looking at the reception level bars.

What hotel chain? Not that I stay at pinkies up hotels, but never been asked. I'm a paper guy and just come in with the reservation confirmation. An ID is not a requirement.... just like voting. They just want the CC and if the name matches they don't care. They just want to be able to charge you if there's damage.
We're also a 50/50 split with hotels and vacation rentals when traveling. With Hilton I can get into my room without talking to a human. It's awesome. My phone is the key and I check in and put my phone up to the door. Either way my point is they have a photo of this guys fake ID. Not buying it. Maybe that's a photo from the arrest, but no hotel/hostel scans your ID even if they ask for ID.
People check into hotels with false names all the time for affairs and that type of shit. They'll take your money 10 out of 10 times. Surprised you've been asked for ID. How do you book?
I've definitely been asked for ID at US hotels.

@Patrick - yes, we just called each other's phones using different shielding until one could not get any signal whatsoever. Cell phones will boost transceiver power significantly higher under weak reception conditions. I was surprised how much shielding it took.
The whole experiment was motivated by an article I read about Faraday cages. The gist was the old assumptions about wire cages being sufficient were based on long-wave radio signals and are not appropriate for GHz frequencies like WiFi and cell frequencies.
GPS is more complicated in that the device must receive a GPS satellite or base signal to obtain its position - these signals can be more easily blocked. Once the GPS bearing is obtained, the device then sends it over the cell network, which is much harder to block.

I insert an ID into the kiosk to get my hotel key (card) to check in and out of various hotels. Tropicana and Harrah's Atlantic City comes to mind. For the other places there I forget. I used the MGM app to check into Borgata. Honestly forget what I did at Hard Rock / Bally's / Resorts / Ocean, but think I used an ID.

I usually always get asked for my driver’s license when I check-in at Marriotts and Hiltons at the front desk. But as I have membership acounts with both chains, if I get a digital key, no need to go to the front desk. And as my credit card is on file, they never ask to see it at the front desk when I do check in there, just ask to confirm that I want to use the car on file.
