If it isn't volume then there is something that is triggering a secondary search on my bags. They are different bags so I know it isn't a specific bag, since I carry the bags on board on the way down it passes muster with the passenger screeners.

Many different factors trigger a full search of the bag.

It isnt anything personal against you.
