To me, the scarier idea is how many of these answers are now online. Mother's maiden name and other family names can be gotten from wedding notices or obituaries. For a teenager, the first job / school / car / concert are probably all available on Facebook. Even without the Internet as a backup, I could probably answer the security questions for 2-4 of my childhood friends.
