For me, it would depend on the attitude of the person at the bag check and the inconvenience, pending that it's not a shopping "club" agreement clause or legally permissible. I'm probably not going to tell a 60 year old lady at Wal*Mart to go to hell just to prove my point, etc. I'd probably ask some pointed questions to demonstrate my position, and then "condescend" to allowing the clerk to check my stuff. However, if it's something that is really bothering you (and I am in complete endorsement of the nip it in the bud stategy) you might try inserting a personal object into your bag. What if a pair of apparently-dirty underwear just happened to not fit in your pockets anymore, so you thought you'd stash them in the bag. Or a used handerchief with a little mucus and some blood on it? A large dildo or something with Elmer's glue? I mean, eventually they'd probably just get the point, I'm thinking....
