I think more to the point an expectation of commonsense applies to those
having a random badge waved at them, to verify it and not merely take it
on
trust.

If I were the FBI or secret service (or a member
of the public) I
wouldn't
rely on a "badge". Waving round a badge, no matter the design, proves
nothing - any more than waving round a badge would prove the person
or
people who ring the bell, have a nice uniform,
and want to enter your
home,
are genuine police officers.
