I have never been ssss'd on CO. Depending on the airline, you may see 1, 2, 3,or 4 ssssss's on the boarding pass that is issued. If I fly one way, I almost always receive a boarding pass with the extra security designation. They rip apart your luggage. In one case my carry-on tested positive for TNT. The security guy took down a full report on me. I asked him how could I test positive for TNT? He said there was probably some type of hand lotion on my bag.

The couple behind me with one son also had the sss boarding pass. They were flying one-way back to Florida because they had taken their other son to Minneapolis on a life flight small jet for complicated emergency surgery in Minneapolis. I think that it is a poor security system.
