Sanitizing equipment for 3 hours only to end up with an infected batch

I spent an entire Saturday obsessively soaking carboys, airlocks, auto-siphons, and tubing in Star San. I scrubbed like a surgeon preparing for open-heart surgery. Three weeks later, I open the bucket and there's a wild yeast pellicle floating on top. How?! Did a single microbe parachute in while I took a breath?
