Granted I’m probably more used to European security, but it’s very rare for me to need a secondary that requires a pat-down - I can remember only one in the last couple of years and that was probably because I forgot to remove a belt given I don’t usually wear one, and it certainly wasn’t what I’d think of as intrusive. Random stops are normally extremely quick and little more than cursory.

If you’re being pulled every time, there must be something you can alter which would improve your experience, possibly something that’s treated differently in Europe compared to the US. Do the security staff tell you the reason you’ve been selected, or can you supposition a guess?
