TSA Logo Contest

Bruce Schneier is holding a contest to design a new logo for the TSA.

I think they need a new motto, as well.

Thanks to an online translator or two, I propose this: Propinquus Stabilis Ianua, Equus est Absentis, which should be "close the stable door, the horse is gone", since Latin does not seem to have a word for "barn".

Though, given the temperament of the TSA, a motto in German might be a better fit for them, so thanks to Google Translate: Schließen Sie das Scheunentor, das Pferd ist weg.

Other suggestions are welcome.

Das Denken lässt mein Gehirn verletzen. from Babel Fish

Where did you find a Latin translator?

In my putzing around, it has seemed to me that Google Translate usually is more accurate than Babel Fish. Promt is also better than Babel Fish.

I found the Latin translator here.

Other suggestions? I couldn't improve on the first motto. It would be foolish to try.

I liked "Preventing yesterday's plots, today."

I am a graphic designer, and I'll take a stab at it.

Reputo planto meus caput capitis vulnero.

Thanks for the link, I think Latin looks better.

How about
"What terrorist?"

"No old lady untasered."

"Inconveniencing everyone but the enemy."

"Occupying the range between inconvenience and utility."
