Narrative:

I was at 4000 ft on an assigned heading from ATC about 10 mi southeast of minneapolis international. ATC called out the traffic, 1 O'clock and 5 mi, altitude unknown. By the time I saw the traffic and realized we were on a near collision course, it had passed over the top of us at about 100 ft. It is very easy to feel secure when flying in a TCA, and that primary targets must be below the TCA. It's very important to always look for traffic, no matter what type of airspace you are flying in and it is also very important for ATC to always call out primary targets.
