Just because you have been asked to check in at the airport does not automatically mean you have been selected for secondary screening!

It simply means that the airline - where it's VS or Ba or AA or DL or whoever - needs to check your documentation. And that could be for several reasons.

I've had this twice in the last year with both BA and AA and the document check was just that - a document check and no additional screening of my carry on,
