Every week, for four weeks, on Monday morning I would show up at the airport and get the old SSSS. That went away once CO introduced a new flight and I was able to take CO metal on the outgoing and returning flight.

Obviously, I don't know the details, but I would rather sacrifice my personal information in advance than to be continually subjected to "random"
searches.
I hate to lay down, but they are going to get all the information they want sooner or later.
