</div>One of the psychological techniques used by the security agencies is to<br>
explicitly ask for something not true and wait for denial. The truth<br>
(whether there were CDs or not) is not really relevant to this question<br>
- it's how you react. Probably you are suspicious if you answer 100% questions<br>
correctly and without any hesitation. Those interviews shouldn't be treated<br>
like a school test - it's not about getting as much correct answers as possible.<br>
<br>
For an example of a successful use of this technique, see Stanley Kubrick's movie<br>
"Eyes Wide Shut", the scene during the party at the manor (not recommended<br>
for people sensitive about explicit scenes, usual disclaimers apply).<br>
