A lot of paranoid posts on here. I guess when you have a hatred for a group of people, then the worst is always suspected. My guess would be that the TSA does not really care where you are traveling to, they are just using an old form of questioning to observe your body language and to see if YOU know where you are going. Many times, people that obtain fake I.D. get nervous enough during questioning that they can not remember the fake name and address on the I.D. This is an old police trick that works well. Will this stop a terrorist attack? Probably not..unless the terrorist was told to go to the airport and pick up a ticket and I.D. from someone and did not memorize the information, destination, or airline. Might lead to further questioning. Its a tool, nothing more. Even the TSA has better things to do than worry about where your are flying to. FWIW...the FBI does not habitually tape interviews...Abdallah Higazy was tripped up using a polygraph machine and admitted ownership of the radio during the test. This is why Satan made the defense lawyer.
