You are thinking of it as if it was a security screening. This is, in actuality, an intelligence gathering operation. I will be the first to admit I'm just guessing here, but I believe the people being asked to provide their email are not randomly selected people, but rather people whom the interrogator already knows, and knows not only that they do, in fact, have an email address, but also what it is and where it is hosted.
