I may be wrong, but I don't think you get SSSSed just from being on The List™. If your name matches (and I use the term loosely) a no-flyer, the airline's agent at check-in must 'clear' you by contacting the FBI or some other acronym. If you print your boarding pass at home - internet check-in - then you may get SSSSed from The List™, but most airlines websites will simply refuse to print your BP. I think, hard to keep up.
