Often, yes. But when it comes to OLCI working for my own SAS TATL flights' record locators to get me my boarding passes, the correlation between OCLI's functionality and SSSS has not been what it used to be for me for at least the past 3 years. I have been unable to get SSSS on any US-bound SAS TATL flights for over 36 months now, and this is even as the number of my US-bound SAS flights in this period is very high. For better or for worse, my rate of getting OLCI to work in pushing me boarding passes for SAS TATL flights in either direction has been much lower than my rate of not getting SSSS flags for SAS TATL flights.

When it comes to getting hit with haraSSSSment flagging for flights during the pandemic, I've had a grand total of zero such incidents. For me, that has been a sort of noteworthy turn as usually such a volume of US-bound international flights pre-April 2020 would have had me expecting several. The number of incidents where SAS OLCI fails me in part for my SAS TATL flights is unfortunately not negligible.

Amusingly, SAS is the last carrier that I saw where PreCheck boarding pass passengers got flagged for haraSSSSment screening despite no SSSS flagging on the SAS boarding passes noting PreCheck. And IIRC, that was at OSL for one of SAS's OSL-US flights.
