BDO's doing their best to keep us safe

No, you do not have to answer any questions and when I have been "asked" both by TSO's in uniform and plainclothes (the ear piece kinda gave it away ), I simply told them to "please use their BDO training to "spot" someone else". Took them a few seconds to pick their jaw up off the floor but that was it and they went away.
