I am running at 100% searched bags on my checked luggage. I can't imagine they're searching 100% of checked luggage. I have used different bags over the summer, all soft duffle type bags. Normally I don't check luggage but often friends ask for Krispy Kreme and in order to take them on board I check my bag (I fly with my small duffle & computer).

The only thing I can think that is partially suspicious is sometimes I carry a curling iron, but that is inconsistant. My bags are pretty grungy from bouncing around a farm truck, maybe they don't like dirty bags?

Do they have lists of PAX they don't *like*? Is it because I am often flying standby? Although... I am not sure the searches were all standby flights. I am wondering what their trigger is for searching. Can't believe I've been randomly this lucky, perhaps I should be buying some of those lotto tickets y'all in the Lower 48 have! I was just curious about this, any input?

Thanks!
