I couldnt believe it that NWA gave me SSSS for taking an earlier flight.

Best practice: print out duplicate boarding passes for your original flight and store the duplicate away for use through the security checkpoint. Then get your flight schedule changed and use the non-SSSS boarding pass to clear security.

Nobody should -- but if someone wants to volunteer themselves for this TSA dog and pony show, then I am not going to stop them from stripping down and making a fool of themselves any more than I'm going to stop a fool from going through the SSSS process because it also makes them feel better about themselves and the TSA dog and pony show.

This haraSSSSment needs to stop now -- it should have been stopped years ago.
