I'm wondering if anyone else has had the experience of having to provide your name or boarding pass to be recorded in a log book after opting out with a private screening? No anomalies detected, no issues or problems from me, but I was detained until I provided my boarding pass in one instance, and in another I was allowed to leave without providing my information to be recorded in the log. This has happened both times I've opted out this month, but never before in dozens of trips this year.

I asked what it was used for ("nothing" in both cases), why it was needed ("just policy") and who had access to it ("no one...just us"). I was respectful as usual up to that point. I asked to see the policy or for the name of the policy ("that will take a long time. Can I see your boarding pass, m'am?" while taking a defensive posture and blocking my passage to the terminal).

I filed complaints all over the place and still no one has been able to clarify this "policy". I am not ready to name the airports here but one was in Hawaii and one was in Tennessee, one was a regional airport and one was an international airport, both were domestic flights. After reading the forums perhaps I should have requested an LEO after the supervisor could not answer my questions and refused to let me go.
