Well is it really and truly overkill? Can you ever truly overkill security? Look at random.org for example they use background noise to make random numbers and look at their random analysis, it's totally unpredictable. Would you call them overkill? Their website is used by many people world wide for generating random passwords.Its also very fast compared to other methods too.

Many random number generator algorithms used in computer are not very secure (For example:linear-congruential generator) the best generators however use external factors like radiation decay, background static, resistance in resistors...ect these are all very unpredictable things to people trying to guess sequences and thus makes it virtually impossible to find patterns thus are much more secure than 'pseudo-random' computer algorithms. That's why I need the pictures. Even seemingly identical pictures will make different hashes due to ambient noise in the camera picture. Randomness is everything in decent cryptography.
