I only flew out of SFO 5 times in last year. 3 of which I got hit with the random selection
At SAT a few weeks ago, I was randomly selected, as was the guy right before me and the guy right after me. The little roped off "holding pen" was only set up for one, maybe two people - so it was a little cramped until they got us moving. Hand swabs only.

I used to have a Dilbert cartoon on my cube wall where the "random number generator" was a troll that kept repeating the number 9.
