An IAEA Seal in Every Box of Cracker Jacks!

Am I the only one who is totally nonplussed by the recurrent shot of an IAEA "seal" that is running on the cable news networks during NYTrogate coverage?

From the look of it, it's just a conventional brass lock, a wire, and a little crimped metal tag (presumably stamped with an IAEA number).

Now maybe there's something to these tags that makes them difficult to forge, but if so it sure doesn't leap out at the casual observer. It seems as though Microsoft has better anti-piracy protections on ever box of its software than the International Atomic Engergy Agency puts on WMD facilities.

UPDATE:

Well, it turns out that this observation is moot. According to a post at Wizbang, the al Qaqaa bunkers:

were only partially sealed. The front door was tagged but there were ventilations shafts on the SIDE of the buildings that could not be sealed. Quoting from the report: "The shafts were not sealed and could provide removal routes for the HMX and RDX while leaving the front door locked."

My partner in crime, Deus Ex Macrame, also tells me that she saw a report that Saddam was forging IAEA seals! If she digs up a link, we'll post it here.
