Sorry if that was a joke (it seems to be, but my sarcasm detector took
an early vacation), but anyway this is pretty standard for a
keysigning party. In fact, it seems to be the method PLUG has used for
some time (going by the mailing list archives). Without carefully
verifying what you're signing, the whole web of trust sort of breaks
down, so the standard seems to be two forms of photo ID, at least in
my experience.

Wishing everyone a great weekend
