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.
A blog by a "sucker" and a "loser" who served her country in the Navy.
If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

ReplyDeleteWhere 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.
ReplyDeleteI found the Latin translator here.
Other suggestions? I couldn't improve on the first motto. It would be foolish to try.
ReplyDeleteI liked "Preventing yesterday's plots, today."

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, I think Latin looks better.
How about
ReplyDelete"What terrorist?"
"No old lady untasered."
ReplyDelete"Inconveniencing everyone but the enemy."
"Occupying the range between inconvenience and utility."
