SSSS on boarding cards (for usa bound pax)
Just wondering about BA flights heading towards the USA (ive only travelled to Asia on BA)
Do some people get the "SSSS" on their boarding cards and how legit it is to conduct futher intensive screening on foreign soil when the criteria is determined by US government agencies?
I ask this because at AA in LHR, SSSS is common and obviously there is a criteria for having SSSS come out on your boarding card but how legit is in UK law?
Does it contravene the article 14 of the Human Rights Act 1998 (prohibition of discrimination). Can a person who has SSSS demand in the UK that it is taken off or insist that all passengers on their flight have the same exact intensive screening procedures carried out on them?
curious to hear all your opinions...
