The use of SSSS should have been eliminated, not increased. It's a disgrace. The parameters that get one flagged for such SSSS harassment have been expanded, rather than decreased. This was mandated by the TSA, not the airlines.
Pre-9/11, the airlines could also deselect a passenger. Now they cannot.
I do know the story and I do know where the fingers should be pointed (TSA) and where the shoes should be planted (in the rears of the TSA admin. repeatedly.)
The airlines HATE SSSS. The TSA forces them to use it.
### What if it was your family that was in the twin towers than maybe you would look at things different, There are many of people that thanks us everyday for what we are doing. I have had many of people tell other passengers they are glad we are here cause they lost a loved one in the towers. But than again there are those people who think nothing is ever going to happen to them.
