There are no new security procedures with regards to GA IFR changes of
destination.


Interesting. We have heard that now from two or three controllers. But
we
have also heard from one pilot that he was explicitly told that the
controllers were required to ask for the reason for any change of
destination, and , well I haven't gone back through the thread to verify,
but my recollection is that several pilots have reported being queried
about
the reason for a change recently, and that it represented a departure from
their prior experience.

I wonder if this is perhaps a local policy at certain ATC facilities? And
it it is, I wonder in response to what?

Might it not be as simple as controllers looking help pilots. It is the most
obvious reason. It is their job after all.
