Same here, situational awareness, and martial arts training.

I'm a second degree black belt in Hapkido & help teach kids.... I too would love to see the look on a screener's face if he asked 'any weapons?' and I answered by holding up my hands and saying 'black belt in karate'

As for defending myself, first thing I do is be aware of my surroundings; the element of surprise is the equalizer and is hard to counter even with martial arts training....

slightly OT:

thinking of the 8 to 12 year olds in my class... what if one gave a swift kick to the shin of an overly grabby screener :0
