Extra security out of Mexico today consisted of airport agents "randomly" selecting passengers at the boarding gate, immediately after scanning their boarding passes, to proceed to a separate table for additional screening.

I was not selected. However, the additional screening appeared you be swabbing of passengers' electronics items and their outer clothing.

In my opinion, none of this necessitates arriving at the airport any earlier than normal.
