In his stare all I could see was SSSS, sure enough there it was, of course I didn't have it on my first leg. I must say, however, EWR's SSSS procedures in Concourse A are quite tolerable with the oversized hairdryer you have to walk through, all the frisking is skipped. Although I was expecting to be taken out for breakfast after my last rub-down at MSY.

Always try to get rebooked inside "security".

The chances of being marked for haraSSSSment are very low.

Frisk Free
 
As a ten year plat (actually, Gold before there was Plat) who formerly held a security clearance, do you think the travel industry should offer me a "good guy" get out of jail (frisk) free card ?

At Orlando I see they have some sort of similar program with biometric measuring, I think it's a retina scan, that puts you up at the front of the x-ray line. So these guys still get searched. Wonder if they ever get "SSSS" ?

No one should ever be haraSSSSed, whether they have a security clearance or whether they're here on vacation from Saudi Arabia.

Supposedly Orlando's Extorted Traveler program exempts one from haraSSSSment. I'll never surrender my money and biometrics for what should be the norm, not the exception.
