Every time I opt out I am mysteriously pulled aside for a "randomized check."
I opt out whenever I travel and I get random checks about 4/5 times now. I definitely don't flag on this scale either.
That's odd. I opted out and was met with no fuss whatsoever. Might have just been lucky.
That is lucky. It is every time for me, and I am pasty white.
Might be the airport too. The one nearby the TSA agents are quite chill in comparison with others I've been to in the past.
