  We present an alternative approach to low-energy supersymmetry. Instead of
imposing R-parity we apply the minimal flavor violation (MFV) hypothesis to the
R-parity violating MSSM. In this framework, which we call MFV SUSY, squarks can
be light and the proton long lived without producing missing energy signals at
the LHC. Our approach differs from that of Nikolidakis and Smith in that we
impose holomorphy on the MFV spurions. The resulting model is highly
constrained and R-parity emerges as an accidental approximate symmetry of the
low-energy Lagrangian. The size of the small R-parity violating terms is
determined by the flavor parameters, and in the absence of neutrino masses
there is only one renormalizable R-parity violating interaction: the
baryon-number violating $\bar{u}\bar{d}\bar{d}$ superpotential term. Low energy
observables (proton decay, dinucleon decay and $n-\bar{n}$ oscillation) pose
only mild constraints on the parameter space. LHC phenomenology will depend on
whether the LSP is a squark, neutralino, chargino or slepton. If the LSP is a
squark it will have prompt decays, explaining the non-observation of events
with missing transverse energy at the LHC.
