random check
Unannounced verification procedure
A random check is an inspection or verification conducted without prior notice or predictable pattern.
Security personnel conduct random checks at airports; managers perform random checks on employee work.
The randomness is meant to prevent people from preparing or gaming the system: Drivers are subject to random checks for alcohol.
Often the selection isn't truly random but appears unpredictable to those being checked.
