Now, had they called me over rudely, there would have been some $h1t going down. (I suppose that was not at all succesful).
I've used this approach successfully in YYZ on a number of occasions, and a couple times at FLL before the TSA took over.

I was actually thinking of doing just this - do not make eye contact, and if asked, then pretend I'm hard of hearing and can't understand what they're saying.
