Given that a friend with OM painted on the tale of his plane got questioned by the FBI about "the Arabic symbol" and another friend got pulled out of line by the TSA at airport because he had an "OM" tattoo shows you how cultureless and ignorant these agents are. I noted that when I picked up my friend at the airport that sitting nearby were a cluster of TSA kids quizzing each other on procedures. If they hadn't been working there they would be serving you burgers at McDonalds. They want 'em dumb I think. A better educated government agency would see something like MMY's "World Government" a joke with little need for attention unless the "World Government" decides it need an army with weapons.
