Yes Carl!
First of all, registration was required to attend. Then names were crossed checked with a list, then about four or five pictures were taken. Then a video camera was aimed right at the attendee. Then, TC informed "if you don't want to be photographed, don't be here." (he said it nicely, not in a confrontational way)
It was not my thought that the DPA did this with any malicious intent, but just as you state, they wished to record the event and the attendees for posterity. ALPA has every right to do the same. Besides, there is not many times (any more) when pilots get treated like movie stars chased by the paparatzzi. (sp?)
Maybe they do this so they can update their facebook page
