In most of those places, the "security" don't even ask Americans anything.
Concur.

I've been to half of the countries on that list and only the UK bothered to ask a bunch of stupid questions about how long I was going to stay. Canada seemed worried I was going to stay for a job when I told them I was there for business. The rest didn't care.
