This one's lost on me. Who cares how many times you exit the checkpoint and re-enter. There is nothing suspicious about that. At non-smoking airports, it happens all day long, especially whenver flights are delayed. Seems that announcements of flight delays prompts smokers to light up.
Here's the REAL question you should ask: did you successfully clear security each and every time? If so, then what's the problem?
By the way, this would be a dumb way to probe a checkpoint. The real bad guys want to keep a low profile instead of draw attention unnecessarily.
