Answer 1

(I wanted to point this out even though I'm late to the party)
The original question you were trying to find a 'Not IN' essentially. It looks like is not supported from the research (2 links below) that I was doing.

So if you wanted to do a 'Not In':

("merchant_id" in x)
true
("merchant_id_NotInObject" in x)
false 

I'd recommend just setting that expression == to what you're looking for

if (("merchant_id" in thisSession)==false)
{
    // do nothing.
}
else 
{
    alert("yeah");
}
