Not to go into major details of what happened, but the agent questioning me (who took over from the first agent after 2 questions) didn't seem to like me, and had a major chip on her shoulder (which became more obvious with a run-in at the gate with her).
Same guys/training, location doesn't really matter. I also occasionally get the "full" question set and not the "short" question set. I have an Israeli passport and speak to them in hebrew etc etc and have flown with them 5 zillion times.
I think just like regular security, they also randomly grill people. Best not to take it personally unless they comment it looks like you've gained some weight since we last spoke. Even then, for all they know, you're smuggling something this time.
