Oh, good point. The hub he listed isn't a thru-bolt type.
And he said it looks like the regular QR skewer without the cam lever... that does sound a lot more like anti-theft skewers.
On another note - the reason thru-bolt became common on disc brake wheels is because of
1. Disc brake front wheel ejection,

2. Open skewer jamming in disc brake.

So he'd be increasing some risk by putting on a QR skewer.
