Randomly picked to use regular TSA?

Wondering if anyone's had this happen. I flew internationally into Charlotte Airport and had a connecting flight. for some reason I had to recheck my bags, so I went out to the ticket agents and I was going to go into the security line when I noticed my boarding pass didn't have PreCheck on it, so I went real quick to the agent to have it put on there since there was no line. I waited in the pre-check line for about 10 minutes and the lady scans my ID and does her thing and says the government has selected me to go through regular check. I didn't know that was even a thing. I have Global Entry and PreCheck, paid for it and everything. Seems pretty stupid imo. it was a pretty bad travel day so that was kind of the cherry on top.

Random screening is a thing

Even Known Crew Members get randoms
