perhaps make the photog aware that his life could be in danger because of the contents of the original photo, and his best safety measure is to distribute the photo widely ASAP
I don't know precisely, but while
examining Getty Library there was
a photo of a man alone in the hall
before the other people arrived,
and he was selecting an aisle seat
for the SOTU. I forget his name but
it was that of a republican legislator.
So you can sort of infer they can select
their seat on their side of the aisle, yes.
