We consider random lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$ (random with respect to the kinematic measure) and how they intersect $\mathbb{S}^2$. It is known that the entry point and the exit point behave like \textit{independent} uniformly distributed random variables. We give a new proof using bilinear integral geometry and use this approach to show that this property is extremely rare: if $K \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is a bounded, convex domain with smooth boundary with this property (i.e., the intersection points with a random line are independent), then $n=3$ and $K$ is a ball.
