I'm not sure if TSORon was implying anything of the sort.

However; you are 100% correct. A BDO can tag you for additional screening simply because you did not want to engage in conversation. You can also be tagged for being the wrong color, having (or not having) an accent, wearing loose fitting (or skin tight) clothing. In fact a BDO can tag you for additional screening for any reason whatsoever. Since the whole concept is nothing but voodoo science any reason is as good as any other.
