I was escorted into a back room and my luggage was searched completely. Nice thing is they repacked everything and wished me a good day... good times.
Similar thing happened with me on my return from Mexico a few years ago. I was on biz, but I had the last two days off to myself and yes, had not shaved, was casually dressed, and travelling alone. Got the luggage search..but they did not repack!!
