No security features on original COPR?

Just curious if anyone knows why the almighty COPR document has nothing on it to indicate that it's an original.

When I landed, I was given my original COPR and 4 photocopies. The only thing separating the original was a small mark on the lower corner in yellow highlighter that the officer made on it. I was told that this one was my original and that I should never give that one to anyone...but, it looks the same as the others.

I was only given the original COPR, and no photocopies, but it has the original ink signatures.

Since the signatures were in black ink, I couldn't discern between my original (client copy) and the copies that the officer gave me, except for the yellow `stamp' from the officer. LOL!
