DM quietly raises encounter difficulty in response to metagaming

DM should have rolled for the player secretly if they didn't want to call attention.

Sometimes I ask for perception checks when there is nothing to notice out of the ordinary just to see them squirm.

My old DM would do this.

He would also sometimes hand players little notes: often full of info that their character would know but had to be kept secret from other players.

But sometimes, the note would be empty aside from a request for the player to not say anything.

The level of tension when the DM hands out a note to everyone but you is... something.
