Why You Never Want to See These Four Letters on Your Boarding Pass 21/6/2023
Why You Never Want to See These Four Letters on Your Boarding Pass If you already think airport security is a hassle, you better buckle up if you spot "SSSS" printed on your boarding pass. The dreaded designation stands for Secondary Security Screening Selection, and it means your airport security experience is about to get a lot more intense. When you're tagged for SSSS, you'll have to undergo an extra security screening, and it can add anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour — or more — to the whole security process. Here's everything you need to know about SSSS. Get more news about boarding pass manufacturers,you can vist our website! What is SSSS? Secondary Security Screening Selection, or SSSS, is a designation by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that flags passengers for extra security screening. SSSS can happen on any flight to, from, or within the U.S., including inbound international flights. If you spot those four letters on your boarding pass, you may be taken aside by a TSA officer during the regular airport security screening process and subjected to additional searches, whether that's in your bag or on your person. Perhaps more commonly, you'll be taken aside during the boarding process, where an agent will ask you to unpack your personal item and carry-on bag for a thorough manual search. Your electronics might be swabbed and tested (be prepared to take off any cases), and you might also be patted down. Overall, these processes can take anywhere from a couple of minutes to half an hour or more. Why do people get SSSS? There's no published information about who is selected for SSSS — and that's intentional. If security threats knew how to avoid SSSS, they might not be caught. Anecdotally, it seems that SSSS is given to passengers with more unusual travel patterns, such as one-way international tickets or travel to destinations deemed high-risk by the U.S. It's also very likely that the TSA doles out the SSSS designation randomly, too. If you’re selected, SSSS will be printed somewhere on your boarding pass. One of the tell-tale signs that you've been selected is that you won't be able to check in online — you'll receive a note via your airline's app or website that you'll need to check in with an agent at the airport. Of course, there could be any number of reasons that you may need to check in in person, but it's definitely one indicator you might need to prepare for SSSS. What should you do if you get SSSS multiple times? If SSSS appears on your boarding pass regularly, you can apply to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Traveler Redress Inquiry Program (TRIP). That program may remove you from whatever mysterious watch list you may be on — if you're not a security threat, that is. (Sometimes traveling to a "high-risk" country repeatedly could flag you in the system, even if you're just going to visit family.) If you're accepted into the program, you'll be given a redress number to add to all your airline bookings, and it could reduce the number of issues you face at airport security.
