What I'm actually asking is whether you will still get interviewed by a security officer prior to your US-bound flight, and whether there will still be a random bag check or extra-interview prior to boarding, even for passengers who do not have the dreaded SSSS.

The reason I asked this is because on my previous flight through ICN, I got interviewed on the transit area prior to boarding my HNL flight, and was sent to secondary inspection even though I did not get any SSSS whatsoever. On my previous flight through HND to LAX, however, I boarded as normal and nobody asked a thing. I'm not sure whether TPE is like ICN or HND in this case; and that's what I wanted to ask.

If I'm asking this to the wrong subforum, I apologize.
