What is Dragon*Con's stand on Scalzi's Convention Harassment Policy?

"We reserve the right to ask you to leave the convention
and refuse to refund your membership money

In what way might I label myself to unambiguously and immediately identify that touching me[1] would be a Bad Idea?

Some thoughts regarding line formation, megapanels, and room clears
