Expect retaliation.
"In your administrative search for weapons, explosives or incendiaries, am I required to answer that question?"

I did this at Dallas (DAL) mid-November, did it again on Friday at Fort Lauderdale (FLL) checkpoint charlie (quite appropriate behavior for that reason) with lead screener (designated psychic reader). He seemed quite disappointed that he could not see what my micro-facial expressions were.

The beauty of this whole encounter is that if you do not answer the questions you get sent to secondary, which is what I was going thru anyway because I opted out.

I enjoyed it, more so than the screener it seems.
