There will be, I suppose, a very good reason for flagging those travelling on one-way tickets as SSSS.....what is it? I ask as someone who is travelling on a one-way ticket in a few weeks (coming to the US to work, so no need for a return) and who was not allowed to use an e-ticket but was forced into nasty paper tickets, meaning queues to check-in and almost certainly a 'random' SSSS....which will be the second in successive visits to the USA!

fortunately I've only been flagged once. that was for
One way ticket, 2 hours before the flight and my assistant booked
it without using my FF#.
if I buy it using my online account and FF# (with elite status on it)
i've never been flagged .. even for the last minute one ways.
(i've done this on delta, CO, NW, WN, KL)
mostly likely you were flagged in the computer so the
Agent marked it.
i've flown on hand written boarding passes about 4-5 times
last year.. and never had any issue.
