I thought that going at least one mph under the limit was specifically authorized in some places.
Getoveryourself county, for one. Just south of Youneedtherapyville.

In michigan, there is no minimum speed unless the road is marked like the photo above. Our express ways are 70mph max and 55mph min.
I would love to get a toy 9mm pistol, but that could/would end up bad lol.

Brandishing weapons, even toy ones, tends to be frowned upon in most jurisdictions. An NRA sticker should have the desired effect.

brandishing is never a good idea. never point at anything you do not intend on shooting.
the flip side is get a CPL and carry with you at all times. if things get bad its nice to have a "friend along".

I've thought about having a flip-up sign for the rear window that would say "PASS ME". You'd hinge it on the rear cargo shelf. Pulling a string, it would appear in the window and they would hopefully read it.
Another thing. If you're on a two lane road where people want to pass, MOVE TO THE RIGHT so they can plan their passes. Yesterday I was behind a truck that was riding the center line and since I couldn't see any of the oncoming traffic, I couldn't pass.

Someone, do this!

In a post earlier, I was referencing them, I think some of the side highways in the L.P. have them as well.
The LED sign shouldn't be super hard to do, but for a plug and play setup, it wouldn't be that easy I don't think.

That 3rd picture is interesting...rest area short version!!!
You seem to really like the camera idea.
Get a bumper sticker that says: Watch your driving; my camera is!!!
The thread getting the bird on onramps might help you too!

Of course having a sign in the rear window assumes that tailgating morons can read.
