You've missed something here. It's not just that you had to have a photo ID to register -- it's that they took your photo and incorporated it into the badge, so that you had to wear a membership badge including your photograph for admission to the convention.
The first is bad if it's the only way of verifying you are who you are for the purpose of collecting your membership. The second is even worse.
