First in TLH and now again at BWI... am I doing something wrong? This only happened once before and it was about 8 months ago.
Generally speaking, in DAB you have to be elderly (it helps if you're being assisted to the gate in a wheelchair), or under the age of four

Although I've never seen evidence of it, I've heard rumours that failing to remove all of your body piercings before screening could also subject you to additional screening
