Cerberus the mascot

kestrell and I were talking about the horrors of bureaucracy, especially as applied to airport security.
K: They'll bite your head off *and* cut you off at the knees! Simultaneously!
A: Big mouths.
K: I was thinking multiple mouths, actually.
A: Multiple big mouths.
K: Maybe just two. I don't think they deserve comparison to Cerberus.
A: No, wait! That's a brilliant idea! Cerberus would be the perfect mascot for the TSA! He's all *about* security theater; he looks big and impressive, but the stupid hero *always* gets past him. Name *one* instance where Cerberus actually stopped someone getting into Hades.
K: All you need is a blood-soaked piece of cake.
A: Hell, Orpheus *sang* his way past. Even his modern-day mythical descendant, Fluffy, totally failed to be an effective security system.
