Of course you wan waive your rights: "you have to the right to be silent"... you can still talk to them.
A cop not having PC can still ask you if he can search your car. If he doesn't have a search warrant or PC he can't search it but if you give him permission he can.
At an airport security checkpoint you can refuse permission for them to check you or your belongings at any time. The only negative result of this would be not being allowed entry into the sterile area.
