A system and method are provided for implementing system controlled randomization and related functioning in screening procedures when granting individuals entry into certain limited access areas. The disclosed schemes supplement personnel access systems with additional user aware features to implement standard objective randomization processes for the selection, identification and tracking of individuals for separate levels of screening. The randomization scheme is tracked to collect information regarding the selection of individuals from the group of all individuals screened at a particular screening checkpoint to verifiably prove objective randomness in the implementation of the randomization scheme. An additional verifiable capability is provided to modify the randomization scheme locally, or from a centralized location, to adapt to changing situations while maintaining the objectivity in the scheme. These modifications can be individually directed by a system administrator, or can be automated to make them one or more of time- or event-driven.
