In the case of travel aboard US registered aircraft, citing your (5th Amendment) "right to remain silent" may be a good response to some questions. The latter action may be applicable since Federal statutes and regulations have accorded de facto police power to flight crews. Also, US courts, going all the way back to US v. Juluis & Ethel Rosenberg, have consistently ruled that one can not be penalized, or adjudged guilty in the case of Rosenberg, for exercising their 5th Amendment rights.

The difference BCSH is that I'm not a communist. The only thing they could complain about me was that I was complaining. Since when Complaining about a service that you paid for is an illegal?
