Is the guest read-only access?
Is /home/public also available without physical access? (eg. Internet)

In any case assume consultant rips copy of /home/public/* and took 
it away on their laptop -- how does that make you feel?

Let that guide you how strong the security should be.

"giving that ... as-needed" is security by obscurity?

If it is read-write access then you might need to consider 
what to do with what they've written, each guest sandboxed 
with a copy of /home/public?

So many variables to your query :)

Grant.
