If it was random, that's fine. But there must have been some "tell" that indicated that it wasn't random. A few people grinning, body language. There'd be some giveaway.How the heck to they randomly select people anyway...at some point someone makes a decision to target an individual for screening. We are not allowed to object of we are selected, let alone question whether it was random or not, so I don't see why a minister is any different.
One would expect a security officer randomly directed to search a VIP to be embarrassed and full of apologies, blaming the system and hoping they understood. If instead the job was done with a degree of smugness and an eye to cause the maximum delay and inconvenience to the passenger, well, you don't need to be Einstein to figure out what just happened.
