My guess as to why she's "randomly selected" so much is the way she holds herself. Having been a cop, she probably has much different body language from everyone else.

I always get selected in about 90% of the times I travel.

I can think of no other reason than I look like I'll be easy to search and they have a quota to fill. I also think it's because I often travel alone.

In no way could I be being racially or behaviourally profiled.
