pointing out that most of the available flag bumper stickers are Right Out
How so? (she asks, considering that unaugmented flag sticker on the bumper that she got in the wave of "dammit, not my country" feeling after 9/11)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
My poor BF was just unceremoniously dumped back into Detroit's airport after flying all the way here on a plane delayed because of thunderstorms...the plane had to turn around when all the other planes delayed by the storms were attempting to land at the same time. So they flew back and told him that all the other flights out tonight were booked. Lovely.

I was wrong -- the Flag Code contains Dos and Don'ts in about equal measure. The ones pertaining to bumper stickers seem to be:
(c) The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
(e) The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
(i) The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is there a distinction between a flag and a picture of a flag?

See my edit -- you're not really supposed to print it on anything impermanent, so a picture of a flag is problematic on its own.

I need to eat some food soon, but preparing it seems like such a big task. I think food will be shrimp and feta cheese with lemon juice and dill.

So the flag, in flag design and flag proportion, should not be on the back of my car. I'll mention it to Hubby. I suppose all those stickers with billowing stripes of red white and blue are a way to get around that, then.
