TSA Logo Contest

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

Bruce Schneier has done it again.  In today's Crypto-Gram, he proposed a contest:

"Over at "Ask the Pilot," Patrick Smith has a great idea:  "Calling all 
artists: One thing TSA needs, I think, is a better logo and a snappy 
motto. Perhaps there's a graphic designer out there who can help with a 
new rendition of the agency's circular eagle-and-flag motif. I'm 
imagining a revised eagle, its talons clutching a box cutter and a 
toothpaste tube. It says 'Transportation Security Administration' around 
the top. Below are the three simple words of the TSA mission statement: 
'Tedium, Weakness, Farce.'"

"Let's do it.  I'm announcing the TSA Logo Contest.  Rules are simple: 
create a TSA logo.  People are welcome to give ideas in the comments, 
but only actual created logos are eligible to compete.  Contest ends on 
February 6."

Yes, that's great.  But what really got me howling was the prize list:

"Winner receives copies of my books, copies of Patrick Smith's book, an empty 
12-ounce bottle labeled "saline" that you can refill and get through any TSA 
security checkpoint, and a fake boarding pass on any flight for any date."
