He's not worried about security, he just doesn't want his
mother to see those pictures of him mooning the camera.

I suppose we can trust the cameraman to use the pictures
only as you ask.  I was thinking of putting some low-res,
but recognizable faces on the WLUG web site, to help us
(i.e. me) to remember names.  The key signing just made
me think of it, but had nothing really to do with the plan.

I am not sure why anyone would object to that unless it
has something to do with the witness protection program,
or running from the law.  But I have neither camera nor
write access to the web site, so it is not for me to say.
