That question is even more intrusive than the ones I was asked. At least that's where I would have drawn the line and told him to screw himself.
The FLL concourse C lead screener asked me where I was going, I told him I believe the AirTran boarding pass said ATL. He then asked where after that and when I was coming back. That is where I started asking him about this administrative search. He earlier asked me if I was "from here". I asked him is state of Florida residency required to use concours C at FLL.
Give no quarter. None.
