Don't know if they got jail time (no memory anymore) but I think the ones in Hennipan County got tagged with a felony.
I've always been talked out of claiming commuter hotels. I was told its a grey area. It wouldn't flag an audit but I would probably lose it in an audit if I got tagged for something else. The CPA who told me that did lots of pilots when I lived in Dallas.

Thanks for the input! I'm not trying to claim a state I don't live in to save on taxes, I am just curious on the IRS definition of a Tax Home, as stated in their regs. If it's where I live, then I can deduct commuting. If it's ATL, then I can't. Unfortunately, you can read it either way, so I was hoping somebody had some experience with it. You can call the IRS, but I don't think you can email them. I suppose that's so they can't be held to one advisor's interpretation of the rule. It would be nice to actually have something chiseled in stone (or email) from them.
