A bit late to the party but I went through IAH Terminal C EliteAccess checkpoint early Saturday the 9th (a week and half ago) and they were asking everyone. when "document marker pen guy" first asked me I laughed out loud, and said "say again" and then pointed out it was in front of him. I had some "playful" back and forth with him (from my perspective not his) and then I pronounced my name in an different accent (I'm fairly good at voice talents to be honest) said much different than the "norm" and then he let me go. Oddly enough he was the guy that was called back to do my opt out pat down, but was fast, and quiet.

One thing he said was funny "See, I ask you your name, you tell me so I can verify, and then we move on" in a very huffy voice. It was cute....

Afterwords, When I was on the benches behind the belts in what I call the "re-dignity" area putting my shoes back on, several TSOs kept telling everyone "have a nice flight" and "thanks".
