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?
If there is *any kind* of electrical wire or device appearing on the X-ray of your checked bag, it will be searched.
