Security check @ Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines has some kind of security check, through which the coputer "randomly" picks a few passengers each flight, who will be checked separately and more thoroughly (also their hand luggage)

The explanation was, that the computer randomly choses, but after being picked 5 times out of 5 flights, I don't really believe that. Probably some indications triggered the system, I'm a 24-year old traveller, foreigner, travelling alone... who knows...

Does anyone of you knows what the criterias are? Has this ever happened to one of you?

I’m not complainig, I support security measures because I would like to have a safe flight, too. BUT: Even though being checked separately, they didn’t found my army knife in my hand luggage, which I forgot to take out. That’s worrying…
