I don't really think lying or deliberately trying to mislead them is
the best option. If you didn't get a CD, then just say that. But I
guess it's your call.

I'm def. with Casey on this one. Don't try to mislead them deliberately, this can only bite you back. It would look very odd when all your fellow attendees insist there were no CDs handed out and you're the only one with a CD, no matter how legitimate those stickers make it look. ;)

Yeah, or if there's something that stands out with a local, such as
someone from Germany or who has a German-sounding name.

(Using German based on experiences I've noticed and because someone
mentioned a similar issue with a German-sounding name on another
thread, on some mailing list. :-))
