A search of the ATCH for "destination" returns 72 hits. None of them has
anything to do with a civil pilot's request for a change of destination
(there is some guidance for military flights). Maybe Steve or Newps knows of
some other source of guidance for controllers that supplements/overrides the
ATCH.

I've had this happen to me a couple of times over the last couple of
months - the
controller querying me as to why a change in destination. I'm wondering
if
there
is a new requirement placed on the controllers because of "security".
Any
controllers
here that would care to comment?

I've had it happen on every IFR flight on which I've changed destination
during flight since 9/11. That's about six times. (headwinds, kids
bathroom
break, weather.) One controller told me it is a security requirement.
