When you go to secondary, the officer makes notes. Those notes are then associated with you forever and can be pulled up by any CBP officer at any time. However, that doesn't mean you are flagged for subsequent referrals. You may or may not be. They have a bunch of notes on me for like 9 prior secondary inspections. I was flagged for a while but now I'm not, they just stamp me in. But if I do get sent to secondary again, the officer will pull up the earlier notes and read them.

At least I think that's how it works.
