But i do understand that some airlines no longer print the SSSS on the BP; for whatever reason - I simply do not have the knowledge as to why - a very few airlines no longer print the SSSS. So they can hand write it in (usually what I SSS at SAT), or escort the passenger to the TDC.

Heck, the other week one airline at SAT had a sever computer problem with the selected list, it wouldn't work for them - so their solution was to make dozens and dozens of people selectees just like how it used to be: one way ticket, paid cash, bought short notice, etc. No problem for us at TSA, but pain in the back side for passengers.
I really think that TSA greatly improved things for passengers in how the selectee list is now implemented. Hopefully most of you will agree. Most likely not...

I would agree if the implementation were done through the airlines. It is, instead, now a requirement that we get government permission to travel and that part is unacceptable (IOW, in the old days it was "you travel unless the government says you can't" - now it's "you don't travel unless the government says you can").
