Yeah, I've weirdly not encountered that this time around, and I'm not sure if it's that the current administration is so bad at their job that they don't realize my last name is Middle Eastern, but after September 11th and during the beginning of the Iraq War, I was CONSTANTLY "randomly selected" for pat downs and luggage checks when they saw my name on my boarding pass.
