"What is your name"?
The other day I was flying with my son on a US domestic flight. He is clearly under 15 but still deserves to be treated as a person just like the rest of us. They ID checker asked me how old he was. I said, "Why don't you ask him?" After the second go-round of this they did ask him. Of course, they had his passport in hand when they asked so they could easily have checked themselves.
