I think it must have something to do with the airlines demanding it. I know at my airport the airlines have asked the TSA to recheck the boarding passes at the WTMD because the airline employed ticket checkers miss half of them. But at MCO they don't. The selectee line there was very long both times this week.
Not sure the airlines can totally delete it. I wonder if some gate agents get spooked on trumping the SSSS. Heck, UA audits most of GAs upgrading stuff, I can only imagine what would happen with SSSS exemptions.
Whatever happened to that thread a month or two ago --- someone saying 'on good authority' about the SSSS thing being relaxed?
