The fact that someone did not answer an intrusive personal question that is not legally required to be answered is NOT suspicious behavior. It is nothing more than a desire to maintain our privacy, and withhold personal information from people who have no right to know it.
This is really a classic TSORon post. It sheds even more light on his basic belief that we are all criminals, demonstrating yet again that he has zero comprehension of the concept of "innocent until proven guilty" that is an important hallmark of our American society, government, and legal system.
So with that logic TSO, as a college professor, when I ask students questions and they aren't able or want to answer them I should be suspicious of something? The way I see it, if you aren't familiar with something you should be suspicious of it right? If you haven't traveled around the world and utilized a money belt or other means to which to travel safely (for me its usually in the third world) then you would be SUSPICIOUS because it is not within YOUR normal view of the world. You are creating an atmosphere of fear and distrust in this country and are delusional in the way you see your job description/responsibilities. Again, please review ACLU/Beifeldt versus the TSA (just put it into google and you will get the objective information I trust you would be interested in learning from)
