I have so much memorized their scripted quesitons I start to say Yes, or no before they even complete their sentence
That will give you a stare but they would let you go quick!
I think they should create different quesitions for different travelers depending on the frequency of the travel. It doe not add any value to the ask a frequent flyers who pass through the same airport 10 times a month the same long routine scripted security quesitions as a first-time flyer from Topeka, Kansas!
