I have been questioned at the Canadian border when my children were small. Because it was an expected part of their job, it didn't bother me much.
But as FilesTooMuch said, it's not part of TSA's job function, and their clerks are no more qualified to investigate this stuff than bathroom attendants. All it does is make the air travel experience all the more hostile.
