I think she probably just seemed like she'd be cooperative--the least likely to cause a problem, or to have a difficult background check. No need to use an interpreter.

They had to pick somebody, so they might as well pick an easy target.
At various airports on the East Coast, I used to see the TSA go after attractive women at the airport security checkpoints, such as "wanding" bare midriffs and legs even when the WTMD didn't go off. And on planes, it's often the FAMs making the moves.
