Everybody is supposed to go through that, it doesn't have anything to do with GE or SSSS.
I don't think it's everybody, because I've never had to do it, flying from T3 to the USA maybe 6 times in the past 2 years.

On the other hand, the "SSSS" designator that brings extra bag checks is supposedly random.
I do have TSA Precheck. That could be it.
