Previous visits do not stop the SSSS appearing. I have been to the LOTFAP well over 30 times and still get it.

In that case the free ATW ticket has no bearing. The profiling system probably didn't even know about the ATW itinerary, only the immediate flight concerned.

Such profiling is not permitted. They are forbidden by law to select people for secondary screening based on age, race etc. And its quite likely that the system making the SSSS decision did not know her age, occupation or travelling partner situation. All they see is the reservation and ticketing details and the decision was made long before she arrived at the airport.
I have had it enough times to know that it takes an extra 5 mins to get through security screening, but has never been an unpleasant experience.
