I initially tried to play along, but it doesn't seem to "get me out" of the WBI at all, in fact ever. So, as long as I'm not getting any benefit I'm not going to participate. Next time I'm just going to look puzzled at the guy or be engrossed in my blackberry.

The irony is, I think that extended interviews, or even "CBP-style interviews" could divide people into low risk and higher risk. It would, however, take very trained agents, and clearly violate discrimination laws and even our constitution. I don't want this kind of effort in the freedom-loving (at least supposedly freedom-loving) U.S.A. This half-a$$ed implementation is absolute nonsense and simple retaliation for non-conformity.
