This hotel I'm saying in says I can't connect my device to the TV's HDMI socket "for security reasons" and I'm wondering, are there actually bad things you could do with a HDMI connection?

@Mossop Sending a power surge into the line and frying the TV should always work. Not sure whether that qualifies as “security reasons” though since you could just as well smash it with a hammer.
