I might talk to you while I'm being screened, but not before.
I am not a BDO, but from what I have noticed is that they do not start talking to the passenger until the screening begins. They usually stand outside the CP, watch the line/passengers, and if they have someone of interest they will have the TSO at the Mag divert the pax for secondary.

So
you're the guy on the BOLO I received?!
