I'm going to find out further details on this, but in a nutshell, if you can't be 'cleared' by the database search, then you will go on the selectee list.
For the same reason that all tickets issued (or reroutes) within 48hrs of departure will result in an automatic selectee status, because they 'dont have time' to run you through the system.
