      What it is an extra charge so even if you fail utterly at being a terrorist and the fbi fucks up, they can get you for something, lying on an official form

    Answer “yes” and a trap door is activated and you are sent directly to Guantanamo Bay for further processing by “Big Bob” and his cock meat sandwich.

      Realistically, probably the same thing as what happens at self-checkout lines with idiotic anti-theft checks:

      A beacon above the kiosk turns on, an attendant walks over and, without a word, flashes a badge at the machine to override the system lockout as they roll their eyes: this is only the hundredth time today someone accidentally pressed the wrong button, because what kind of terrorist would voluntarily press “yes”.

        Except that they take shit very seriously at airports. Try jokingly saying that you’ve got a bomb while they’re checking your luggage, they’ll take you away for a few hours.

    I asked my girlfriend who works in aviation security auditing I asked her what would happen and she said “you wouldn’t be allowed in” as it’s part of a visa questionnaire.

    My guess is that the button doesn’t do anything by itself, but is used to see if it triggers any abnormal behavior

      I think it’s probably meant to tack on a “lied at customs” charge if the person goes on to commit terrorism.
