Or possibly the little button trigger in the door jamb.
My wife's QX4 has taken to doing the same thing. Seems that one of the little buttons is giving out after nearly 15 years. The stronger the wind, the more often the alarm would sound. Determined what the problem was while driving and the interior lamp flashing on and off. A little bit of foam tape, problem solved.

I had the same problem, the part in my key fob that holds the battery in, the solder broke. Causing the alarm to go off any time I was near the wifes key and fob for my car. I ended up having to repair it(after mine broke also) so thats both went bad. Being $29 for a new fob and $45 for the stealer to reset the new fob. Check the fob and see if it is loose on the metal battery holder.

Sorry, but I wasn't thinking right when I said latch. The lamp/security control for the rear door is the latch but the front is like what Jay said a jamb switch. Could be any doors or the hood switch (if equipped).
Sometimes grabbing the handle and jiggling the door will tell you which door. On the rear doors for the panel you would have to do this from the inside. If the interior lights come on with movement of the doors that would be the door I would start with.

Like I said in my first post. The only time mine would go off was at home near the other key fob and nowhere else. So open the 2nd key fob and take out the battery and see if it stops going off.
