TSA Red Flag: What These 4 Letters on Your Boarding Pass Really Mean

Seeing "SSSS" on your boarding pass means you’ve been chosen for Secondary Security Screening Selection, a thorough TSA check. This can be random or due to your travel patterns or a name matching a watchlist. Expect an extra 30-45 minutes for a detailed bag search and pat-down. If this happens often, apply for a Redress Number through the free DHS TRIP program to clear your name and ensure smoother future travels.
