Well, I was furious that (1) they missed the SSSS on her boarding pass ( (a) if she had been a security risk, that sucks for everyone; (b) it caused me a hassle and (worse) upset my family), and (2) they managed to avoid sending us back through security ( (a) if she had been a security risk, that sucks for everyone; (b) is knowing my zip code the same thing as a thorough search?

Furthermore, I guess I'm furious a third time that the SSSS showed up at all on an itinerary with a UA 1K, a UA 1P and a four year old.... and a fourth time because it showed up on only one of us (if one of us is a risk, aren't all of us? what's to stop me from taking the dangerous material with my non-SSSS boarding pass and going through security separately from her SSSS boarding pass?)

This all just shows (to me) clearly how poorly run our security is.
