It's A Game. Know Your Move.

I thought for a second he was going to confiscate my lunch. Anyway when they made the next rounds, I made a point of keeping my eyes to the floor.
Kinda felt like a time I travelled through the old soviet block countries though, not good...
==================================================
IF someone comes up to me outside a normal checkpoint
(By tsa at airport regardless if in uniform) my move would be to ask for ID.
IF it is not shown I feel no need to answer questions.
