Both perspectives are noteworthy, but I think that IF his presence might cause security concerns, it's probably wiser to pass, and let security help the folks who need it most. What's more important? Hope, or water, food, refuge from gunfire & water-borne bacteria, etc...? Anyway, hopefully his presence will accomplish all of these things. As MM said, timing is everything. Maybe this is the right time.
