The questions need not question why, where, how long staying, purpose of travel and so forth but sadly that is not what is happening.
When government believes it can ask such questions and determine ones right to travel based on those answers then yes, it does damage the fabric of society.
Now if TSA wants to ask questions unrelated to the why, where or such, and stick to things like "isn't it warm today?" or such then I'm ok with that.
