It's sad but I decided to forego a trip this weekend in part due to SSSS. I was asked to fly to Washington. I knew that if I bought a ticket to DC with less than a week's notice that I'd be a guaranteed SSSS. I really just don't want to deal with it, so I'll stay home. It's pathetic, but I really don't need a pat-down and a wanding right now. I'm all stocked-up for this year.
If you can "forego" a "trip" to DC based on your deisire not to submit to a "pat-down":
a. You didn't need to go.
b. If you worked for me, we'd have a talk.
