This is a real attack vector. Don't use strange cables you find laying around the airport. And if you see a USB charging station, ideally you should hook into it with a power-only cable, not a power-and-data cable.
The NSA booth probably just hacks your phone into pulling up a website with a description of the hack and a hiring form, though.

It's a "whoah neat look at what the NSA can do, I should apply!" not a screening process.
