Good for them!
I wouldn't have signed it either, and probably would have been too busy
laughing at the security guard to ask him to prove that s/he could
identify the petunia and butterfly that I was taking a picture of, and
to prove that s/he had the authority to ask me to sign paperwork. Then I
would have offered the butterfly a dollar to sign a model release, if
the guard could catch it
