Fair enough. Here are a few scenarios:
  1. I have presented my NEXUS and the TDC refuses it. I have a DL but I insist that he/she take the NEXUS. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  2. I have opted out of the WBI. I insist on clean gloves. The screener pulls a pair of gloves from his non-sterile pocket. I insist he gets them out of the box. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  3. I do not take my 3-1-1 bag out of my carry on. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  4. I refuse to move from where I can see my belongings for the opt out frisking. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  5. I insist on seeing my belongings or having them brought to me before allowing the start of the opt out frisking. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  6. I am told that I will need a private search. I offer to only have the search done in public and will sign an authorization. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  7. I have my companion record on video my opt out frisk. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  8. I insist that my medical liquids be screened separately and the sealed sterile container not be opened. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  9. I put my shoes in the bin, rather than the belt. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  10. I put my shoes on the belt, rather than the in the bin. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  11. I forget to hold up my boarding pass as I pass through the WTMD. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  12. I refuse to pronounce my last name for the TDC. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  13. I refuse to tell the screener how much money I am carrying. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  14. When SPOTTED, I do not answer the questions. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  15. In the sterile area I am asked to present my beverage for an unknown test and I refuse. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  16. After being cleared at the check point, I am asked again to submit to a search or a document check while at the gate but I refuse on the grounds that I have already been cleared. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  17. I am in the airport taking pictures of things that are viewable by the public. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  18. I am in the airport taking pictures of the check point being careful to avoid the x-ray screens. Have I interfered with the screening process?
  19. I am taking pictures of the pat down of someone I do not know. It is occurring in full public view. Have I interfered with the screening process?

Thanks. Simple "yes" or "no" responses are all that is needed.
