Definitely not the standard procedure; only about 15% of US bound passengers on US carriers are selected for secondary security screening.

Take a look at the following threads:

'SSSS' on boarding pass - The "Policy Debate" version
'SSSS' on boarding pass
Why did I get the dreaded SSSS despite my GE/Pre✓/Nexus status? [merged threads]

Yes, I realize that you did not see an SSSS designation on your mobile boarding pass, but you did receive the SSSS treatment.

I flew from the US to London recently and I was shocked when the gate attended in the US actually came on to the PA and said "If you have SSSS stamped on your boarding pass, please come to the gate immediately". I've never heard this before in my life, though I've known of the four letter shake down for years. Is this common now?
