It's not just on single occasions. I'm one of those "random" people without NEXUS (or other credentials that I'm aware of) that gets TSA Pre 100% of the time. I really have no clear idea what the mechanism is or what the criteria are that consistently identify me as someone who can bypass normal screening. I'm curious about this but I doubt it will ever be explained to me.
