This is interesting--but I find it a bit odd that an airline or the FAA would want to print the "S-" on the boarding pass--doesn't that alert people (like terrorists) that they have been singled out?</font>
I'd venture that no more than a fractional percentage of travelers even know that a system like CAPS is in existence, let alone that they have been singled out for special attention.
