Bcc: Mylow, PMMTester, and the guy who was on point for Congressman Coble to look into the NSA incident.
Talking to the phone just now with Mylow, he said he and his wife were remembering the symbol on the lapel of that NSA guy that showed up on April 2-3, who grabbed her and shoved her.

From his description, the symbol sounded Masonic, so I sent him a link to some Masonic images. He said it had a hammer in it, so I added "hammer" to the search
At which point, he said it was just like the one on the top left, except without the circular perimeter stuff.

According to the website, where this image is found, it is the symbol inside the German Democratic Republic flag.
"Masonic coat of arms - set of compasses - along with a worker's hammer as its central symbol."
I removed the perimeter in the following.

He said the lapel pin had that symbol but was made of brass, with no coloring.
