And that's the problem I have with all this conversation...... the word "believe" - how is that proved (or disproved)????

Short of asking the basis for their "belief", do we really have a way of refusing in a real-world scenario? Or do we ask them nicely to come back when they have a warrant? and if you're an FAC holder like me, isn't that likely to prejudice your renewal? I know it probably SHOULDN'T, but I'm not that naive.
