I am much more likely to cooperate when told up front what needs to be done and a bit of the why surely doesn't hurt anything. That just doesn't happen with TSA, even when asked directly (TSA Blog), which in the end alienates the public and makes TSA look incompetent although the later is probably actually the case.
