I suppose it probably was splattered all over their registration materials,
but I certainly didn't notice.
The RSA trade show insists on a picture ID to register, even for exhibits.
Then they take a digital picture of you at registration and print it on
your badge,
so you're not able to switch off badges with other people;
they're mainly checking pictures to get into the paid sessions,
which doesn't bother me much (though it's pretty typical for companies who have
multiple people attending a show and also doing booth bunny duty to switch
off.)
But it's especially annoying when you've registered several dummy names
for the free exhibits since you didn't know which co-worker would be there.
I'll have to see about printing a fake ID at work this morning before
I head back there (or else go back in and see if our lame booth has any
spare exhibit badges.)
Joel Cypherpunk and Dr. Fred M'bogo, you're both pre-registered,
so remember to bring picture ID of some sort with you :-)
