I'm that little birdy that Lenny was talking to off-list so I figured
I would add a quick comment here :)

As a reminder, elevated privilege is needed to both add/remove/modify
audit rules as well as the loaded SELinux policy (affecting the
validity of the relevant security labels).  Also, as Lenny already
mentioned, if an invalid security label is used, the kernel will
notify the admin via the kernel log.
