It CAN NOT be done with any sort of accuracy. The questions are going to be a huge annoyance. Ask me if I'm coming back from vacation while wearing a suit and tie and I WILL get annoyed. A great deal of people would, because it shows you are just stupid.
We need a trusted traveler program, body scanning for secondary ONLY with opt-out option, and a massive downsizing of the TSA with focus on intelligence and organized threat detection. Nothing else, no more toys.

Looks like another massive taxpayer boondoggle coming down the road. Huge taxpayers dollars will be spent on training folks who aren't qualified in the first place. I suspect only a small percentage of my own workforce would be qualifed to do this sort of interrogation effectively - and we're going to waste time and money telling folks who can't master the website list of '10 allowable IDs' to become ace BDOs.
Right.
This from an agency that can't even control the barking and braying. Airports around the world can teach their security personnel how to communicate without barking and braying, but after almost ten years, TSA still hasn't mastered that one.
Right.
