The fact that 2 cars of 4 have been found illegal is unprecedented but not impossible.
By the time those checks have been made, cars have already been disassembled, if not on trucks, and heading to Mexico.
In order to check every single part of every single car, every single race would require FIA to have much more staff that they have currently on every weekend throughout the season. It would require more downtime from already extremely overworked and busy pitcrews to wait for all these checks to be made. Given how hectic their schedules are (especially in double and tipple headers), this kind of thorough search is pretty much impossible.
These checks are made, how they are, for a good reason, and they do their job by the virtue of them being random (in this case not really random, top 4 cars + random cars that were sparking the most). You don’t wanna risk it as if you are found guilty, you are DSQ’d
