And everyone knows it, even (presumably) the terrorists, and you get your boarding pass BEFORE you go through secondary screening. Genius, eh? Of course, everyone at the airport *pretends* that the SSSSSes don't mean "secondary screening", but it is hard to keep anything that obvious a secret. I've had that on my pass many times (but I used to fly an insane amount, like twice a week.) If you fly often enough, you'll get hit at random here and there. Perry -- Perry E.
