I think these changes are really going to make it hell for those of us unfortunate enough to be watch listed. I don't believe in a reasonable and timely system to sift through thousands of wrongfully included names (especially for us non-Americans), and now, when we show up with our SSSS passes, we are going to be treated by the TSA like "people who really deserve it" instead of being lumped in with the rest of the last minute flight changes and one-way ticket SSSS people.

The worst part is that there is absolutely no way an SSSS boarding pass is ever going to catch a known terrorist. First, because secondary screening to all listed passengers decreases overall security, second, because a terrorist who knew he/she was on the watch list would fake an identity, third, because there are many ways to bring bad stuff into an airport that do not involve the checkpoint and finally, because there is still no checking if the boarding pass is not fake.
