Are you an American citizen coming from the United States? You probably don't have anything to worry about. Although I always like to be prepared anyway.
But if you're coming from a country that attracts scrutiny, I always have an itinerary of my destinations, lodging and return flight printed out and ready to go. The last time I was asked if I was employed and then asked to show proof of my employment (business card and Linkedin profile did the trick).
