100% correct! You've got it!

The agents' actions MUST prompt a reaction from you (the victim). Thus my act: (I deserve an Oscar for that!)

Start at the queue. The agent picks you at the queue as the next victim. give out the feeling that you are relaxed. move a paper from one pocket to another. Look at a woman in the queue (if there is an attractive one there) . If you are with your woman, talk normally with her like if you were in a queue for the cinema box office

Once face to face:
Show alertness, and attention to the their actions,

Greet the guy formally, but show no friendliness. If agent show friendliness, smile back but do not show over friendliness as he is the authority.

Never be non-challant or appear amused. They will get upset and step up their ante!
And do this: they look at you, back to the passport then at you again. Turn passport around. Look at you again. They feel the paper of the photo page between the fingers. He wants you (the victim) to ask, Anything wrong?
If they step up the ant, do that:
pick the Yellow fever certificate on the shirt pocket just to see it is there. Or show curiosity to the small camera lens.

Never look or act dodgy
