PTravel can feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and I won't take offense.
No, I agree with you. That's why, if a TSO denied me entrance to the sterile area for refusing to answer something like, "Why are you going to Montana?", I get the GSC and let him or her sort it out. Though, I imagine, just the mere fact that I was going to Montana would probably call my mental stability into question.
