1) I'm sorry, that's between me and my spiritual advisor
2) It's personal
3) Also personal
4) I'm sorry, that's confidential
5) Also confidential

Under the TSA's rules, those are all reasonable answers that would not lead to a secondary. I'm sure, though, that it could lead to one based on "failure to show proper respect."

Couldn't agree with you more. Just because the TSA is now doing some that the folks at TLV do doesn't mean that it's the same program.

Not a chance. I'm far more afraid of being hit by a drunk driver than I am about a terrorist on my plane. Statistics would support me. I swear, if the TSA ran the highways, we'd all be forced to drive at 20 MPH and stopped every 50 yards for an inspection.
