In my personal opinion, air travel can be pretty stressful. Between trying to get organized, making sure you catch your flight, and attempting to navigate busy airports, there\u2019s a lot of things that can go wrong. If you\u2019re already having a stressful airport experience, the last thing you want to happen is for security to start questioning you. However, if this code appears somewhere on your boarding pass, that\u2019s likely exactly what\u2019s going to happen.<\/p>\n
According to Business Insider, seeing \u201cSSSS\u201d printed on the bottom of your boarding pass means that you\u2019re about to become mighty familiar with the staff at TSA (Transportation Security Administration). Why? Well, because those four letters mean that you\u2019re the lucky soul who\u2019s been pre-selected for additional security screening.<\/p>\n
The \u201cSSSS\u201d stands for Secondary Security Screening Selection. \u201cSecure Flight is a risk-based passenger pre-screening program that enhances security by identifying low and high-risk passengers before they arrive at the airport by matching their names against trusted traveler lists and watchlists,\u201d explained a TSA spokesman.<\/p>\n
This Secure Flight program only collects basic personal information like the passenger\u2019s name, date of birth, etc. in order to conduct \u201ceffective matching.\u201d Additionally, this program is used to prevent people on the No Fly List and the Centers for Disease Control\u2019s Do Not Board List from traveling via airplane. So if you see these four letters appear on your boarding pass, don\u2019t panic! Just know that it\u2019s part of standard protocol to ensure you and other airline passengers continue to enjoy safe, stress-free flights.<\/p>\n
