I flew out of ATL on CO Dec 31. I was selected to have my bags inspected at check-in and also was selected at the gate for the rubber glove treatment. Even though I was flying with my wife and baby!
When we arrived at the gate the agent looked at our BP's and said "Oh, I've been waiting for you". It seemed like he had a list of passengers that he was supposed to send for inspection. (I don't know if he had previously made an announcement asking that we present ourselves to the gate agent because we arrived at the gate pretty late, but I don't think he did.)
