Obligatory reminder: you have the right to silence in the US. Under no circumstances do you have to say anything to them, except for specific things like, "I want a lawyer," and, "Am I under arrest?"

You also have to say you are involving the 5th amendment if you are going to remain silent. There are cases where the supreme court ruled that the 5th amendment only applies if you verbally invoke it by name.

Supremely idiotic that that's the case, but it never hurts to be thorough, I guess.
