I had friends that lived in Strabane, when we used to go out to Derry or just about anywhere there was a good chance you would be stopped by a mobile patrol, asked questions, possibly searched.

As matter of routine, it wasn't nice but it was fact of life. so in answer to your question yes everyone in N.I. was targeted.
There was a time, not that long ago, where you had to have your bags searched before you went into any shop in Belfast city centre.

And your right the army did put regular checkpoints up where they stopped people at random or people who looked suspicious and questioned them on their movements.

I've been stopped by these a few times its usually of a case of "can I see your license sir", "where are you going to tonight" etc
