Sure enough, I had an SSSS on the bottom corner of my BP that I hadn't noticed before I was pulled aside. I assume it was a random occurrence.

I was on an Australian carrier.

ETA: Looks like this thread also discusses the issue:

Which airline and airline flight number was on the boarding pass with the SSSS?
