Yeah I figured that could be it, but I've landed at larger airports and had no problem walking around the ramp freely to/from the plane without an escort or badge. Oh well, by some of these replies it sounds like it's a common practice.
I miss the old airport where I could just punch the code into the gate and drive out to the plane.

Is this a Part 139 airport? If so, the airport is required to ensure you are properly trained to access movement areas or they can be fined or lose their certificate. TSA is also referenced in the ACM (Airport Certification Manual).
This training costs them money as does the badging process.
As to the poster who used an expired badge, that is a serious violation. An expired or canceled badge could be used by a disgruntled employee or other person who may want to do harm. I personally had to deal with a situation where this happened.

Be happy that the airport is taking precautions to ensure your property is secure by limiting access to those who have been trained and had criminal background checks.
