Yeah from what I've heard they basically interview you when you come in, and if you ever mention even having heard the term "jury nullification" they're just like "ok, you're not fit for this, goodbye"
I don't see how you'd be arrested for perjury in this case. Even if you are asked "do you know what jury nullification is" and you lie and say "no" but then in the jury room say "this law is bullshit, no way I'm convicting this guy" they can't arrest you for that. You can't be arrested for making a 'wrong' decision, no matter what logic got you there.
"I thought I could but then I realized the law is bullshit." Find me a case of a juror answering a question during voir dire about something like that and then going to jail for what they said in the jury room. I'd be shocked.

Well that's obvious, I mean like during the trial

We should add this as a site catchphrase.
Definitely a struggle session in the offing!
