Thanks for the info! Yes it was at a checkpoint in Terminal C but it was two females who were asking this question. Althought I do believe that the last time I was asked (4-6 weeks ago) it was an older gentleman.

Can I get a definitive answer on the following question:

Are we required to answer their questions?

Please understand that I am not trying to be an @****** but I do not agree with doing anything more than what is required. I FIRMLY believe in the creep theory and it is definitely applicable to the TSA.

Thanks...
