3. talking about how his son was just finishing a posting to a USAF base.

Which one of these three is a violation of your rights, and how?

You miss the point. None are a violation of rights -- TSOs can ask anything they want. Demanding a response or, worse, penalizing you if you fail to respond by, for example, subjecting you to secondary screening is a violation of rights.
