Exactly. I've been a frequent flyer for decades and not once have I ever been selected for secondary screening until after September 11, 2001. Never. Not SSSS'd, not random continuous secondary screening, nothing. My first secondary screening happened in late September, 2001. Before that, never. I suspect my experience is not unique.
I know,
Everything Changed on September 11.
