If you drive hard, 17k is enough miles to need new front pads. Try a second shop. It seems odd that the first one would miss it if it were hitting the wear indicator, but it's possible.
I have the same issue and im just having my brakes changed this weekend.

[QU(especially right when i start driving in the morning). OTE]
USUALLY, in the a.m., as you state, it can be overnight dew/condensation which burns off as brakes heat up.

Hmm, have they been replaced recently with performance pads? Performance pads tend to squeek a bit more. Like ruexp67 said, make sure if you put new ones on that you lubricate them in the right areas.
btw, a quick tip: to reduce brake squeel, you can chamfer the leading edges of the brake pad to a 45 degree angle. That helps eliminate one potential source for noise. Really helps if you're running performance pads. You lose about an 1/8th inch of friction material, but they make less noise.
