The Magic Amulet

Police were told Denny drove the woman to San Diego International Airport, where he flashed his fake badge to get through security. [More]
See, have the amulet and you have the power to cloud men's minds--although in the case of TSA, the clouds are already pretty dark and fluffy.

I'll bet if you had that amulet you could walk around with a gun and no one would give you a second look. Do the same without it, and you may stampede the herd.

Mass conditioned reflexes to symbols of authority--why, that's a pretty handy thing for tyrants to have...and it works like magic!

Didn't love her enough, did he?

Wearing (or carrying) a badge is about as nasty as smearing feces all over yourself. Until or unless I am forced to do such, as camouflage, in order to survive, I'll leave such behavior to the sick puppies among us.
