security.
Plus, at some large airports, if your BP shows SSSS the initial agent who checks your BP/ID will tell you to go to lane 1 instead of lanes 2-10, but I've noticed they never look to see where you go, and usually nobody else checks the BP afterwards, so technically an SSSS person could just go in the normal line without much chance of getting caught.
Well, most airports I have my BP viewed after going through the metal detector. Could they be looking for SSSS trying avoid the search? I'd hate to get caught doing that, however tempting. Sounds like a ticket to a later flight.
