I've only been randomly selected a handful of times, and nothing memorable. Just an odd shape of how my bag was packed, etc.

The one time I do remember, I had just driven back across the TX/Mexico border from a Church Mission Trip when I was 13. Had no issues with border patrol, got to the airport, went through security there, no issue. This is one of my 1st times ever flying. Caught my connecting flight, where we had to change terminals and go through security again.
I get pulled aside out of the 60+ kids & fortunately my dad is with me. Something in my backpack had set off their scanner, but none of the others before. I had bought a marble elephant, that was roughly 3lb., in Mexico for my mom. The lady in the market had wrapped it in newspaper for safe-keeping. Apparently their scanners at the time (circa 2002) couldn't see through newspaper, hence me getting pulled outta line. So that was fun for a young teenager, thinking I was screwed.
