Is there anywhere you can check if you are on the TSA watch list? I just got the dreaded SSSS on my Boarding pass and had to be strip searched at the security check point. I am hoping I was just picked randomly. I flew from Dallas to Houston and then from Houston to London. I only got the SSSS on my boarding pass on the Dallas-Houston trip.
Normally I wouldn't be worried, but I have recently gotten a security clearance from the TSA in order to take my 737 type rating (I am European).
 
Were they atleast gentle with you when they did your search?

Don't sweat it, those things are done at random, and if you didn't get the SSSS on another leg, then you should be in the clear!
 
The SSSSS on your boarding pass doesn't mean you're on a watch list, it only means you're a "selectee". That means you've been tapped for enhanced screening, based on some top-secret parameters that are probably both arbitrary and nonsensical.

Best you can hope for is a cute screener!
 
No it was a return ticket bought with a CC in my name.
They were gentle with me when they did the search. Would have been a little more fun if it had been a hot babe doing it though ;o)
 
I have gotten the extra screening numerous times from buying last minute flights, one way tickets, or using a C.C. not in my own personal name......although my connecting flights, if there are any, always did the extra screening also... I never got away with just one leg "anal probe"....;)
 
does anyone else have to fight back laughter as they give you the, "I am now going to place my hands..."

Good stuff

Yeah...especially when they say "Now I am going to place my hands between your breasts....."

For women, they feel all around your "front side", and even between them. It's actually QUITE embarrassing. They do use female to female though....

I understand why they are doing things like they are, but they get quite touchy feely....it's weird. A lot of the women look kinda "butchy" (not all), but sometimes I wonder when they do the breast swipe twice....:rolleyes:
