Yes, I would, for the same reason I refuse to say anything at the border other than "I'm an American citizen," and for the same reason I refuse to say a word to the police during a traffic stop other than "I reserve my fifth amendment right to remain silent."

Rights aren't rights if you don't get to actually use them.

Right now Americans are learning the lessons of the black panthers: constitutionally protected "rights" are only rights so long as your flexing of them isn't inconvenient to the State. We've been shouting this at McMilitias for decades now.
