One way would be to not use CF. You can use the authentication features of
your webserver to handle this. If you are on IIS there are environment
variables that you can use once the user has successfully authenticated.
They will tell you the user login ID and you can reference the DB from that.
You can also use cfcontent and store the JPG files out of the webroot.
Just a few ideas.
