When you get SSSS on an international segment, all expedited checks are cancelled for those on-ward segments attached to the international itinerary.

Thus, your segments associated with the SSSS travel would all have their TSA precheck eliminated and you have to go through regular check-in.

However, your next day travel on another ticket PNR will return you to your original TSA status.

Hope this helps.
Yes, that seems to be what is happening now. Used to be, if you re-checked in for the subsequent flights, you could get PreCheck back. But maybe that is no longer possible?

Would be curious if anyone has any recent data points on being able to successfully use the "re-check-in" process to get PreCheck back onto subsequent flights?
