I wonder these are similar to the "tests" in Suits, where they (somewhat inadvertently) check whether someone went to Harvard by asking about the food places students typically went to.
Its a pretty standard thing to do when you suspect someone of being not who they say they are. WW2 German spies would claim to be from New York, and OSS or MPs would ask them who the Yankees lead pitcher was. Not really a unique or new way of doing things.
