TSA: New Behavioral Detection Program

The TSA will soon begin an enhanced Behavioral Detection program in Boston where specially trained officers will engage is conversation with all passsengers once they enter the screening process. 

After watching the interview below, I have to ask: what would happen if, politely, we explained we preferred not telling a representative of the government about our travel plans, who we’re seeing, why we’re traveling, what we do, etc? They claim it’s not the actual answer they’re interested in but how we respond. If that’s the case, will we be “punished” for refusing. Or, should we be required to answer any question in the name of security?

Just how much privacy are we required to give up to fly?
