What I worry about is Google Authenticator codes for several financial institutions, getting vacuumed out of the phone with everything else and stored on some insufficiently-secured database.

One phrase I've used with success in the past is that I have secure governmental cryptographic codes owned by someone other than myself in my laptop/bag/iphone and am not allowed under law to disclose them to unknown parties such as yourself.

Most first level TSA/DHS people measure the cost/benefit of my assertion and back off.
