I had heard about this from someone here before but never been through it myself.

Either LRD is part of the US or it's not, and so asking people to declare themselves as citizens or not is ridiculous when it comes to domestic flights. Also, US persons include more than just US citizens, both of whom should not be subject to this nonsense. Actually no one should be subject to "paper checks" by the government when it comes to domestic flights.
