I still believe someone may get their underpants in a wad if we supply them with too much information. They may think you are asking for something you aren't authorized and you never know if part of your story (without the all the supporting info you provided) is going to get conveyed to others. My recommendation is to just say you are trying to get home, go on vacation, or see family. In other words, the truth without all the details.

Someone asking questions about our deviation bank may be looking for trouble. I never talk about that stuff.
