They're gonna what? Walk up to me an start talking? What if i don't talk back? What if I give em the finger? What if I tell em to go f*#k themselves?

Then what? Does that make me a terrorist? I don't want to talk to most people I see, what makes them think I want to talk to them?

When an officer pulls you over, do you tell him to go # off? While they probably wouldn't think you were a terrorist, they'd definitely think you were an asshole. Honestly, how hard is it to be polite and congenial to people you meet?

You don't have to have a debate with them, just say hi, and tell them where you're going when they ask. Dont flatter yourself by thinking they care what you have to say. They are looking for micoexpressions or other nervous ticks or erratic behavior. Isn't this what everyone's been asking for? Less invasive methods of securing airports?

Besides, you know they do this anyways, right? If they notice someone acting suspiciously, or someone exhibits specific signs when approached, they will pull you aside for more screening. This will just make it so they are actually trained for this type of thing.
