Going through LAX PreCheck today, wheelchair assistance employee set off random alarm. TSO had them exit then re-pass through WTMD normally. I was next and he told me I was randomly selected even though there was no alarm when I went through.
I opted-out for spite
I have arms that don't go up fully due to injuries and hardware. I got the random beep. It took three TSA supervisors running around like chicken to allow me to be wanded/pat down. They insisted that when you get the random beep that you have to go through the ATI. This despite me showing them a medical card even to prove the hardware. It took the airport TSA director to knock some sense into them.
