I don't think it makes me Blanche, but it might make me blanch. Sorry couldn't resist! :)

I had to use a service like United Cargo SPD to send a friend's passport after she left it on her desk before an international trip. As stated, for domestic trips you can travel without ID. For international, you really do need that passport (or need to replace a lost/stolen one promptly).

If they simply dont talk in line, cant the one with the ID just take all the luggage and belongings of the SSSS'd person so they can walk through with just their boarding pass, and save loads of time, since the TSAholes wont be searching any luggage?

I believe that's only with minors and I'm guessing that Mr 1c is not a minor.

So thanks for the advice. I checked her bag in my name, and they did give her the SSSS but it went really smooth. When I told the story to a few people at work, they were all shocked it was so easy to fly with no ID. I have to say I was a little shocked too. The advice also helped releive her stress levels on the vacation. I only joined FT a few months ago, but I've been lurking for over a year. I just assured her, these people are experts and know what they're talkkinng about.

glad to hear that this worked out for you...and glad that some fellow FTers were able to lower your blood pressure over this issue - even slightly!

That was correct to my knowledge, and we do it everyday, but I was curious because of what Less02 said. Perhaps at other airports they make you separate or you both get patted down? At MCO they just separate each others stuff, and ask that you don't touch the SSSS passengers stuff, until they finish testing. **shrugs**

I'm glad the OP got through with minimal hassle.

No, if you are not a SSSS, you won't need the screening (unless you are a child under 12). Part of the SSSS screening is having the bags searched. All she would need to claim as her own is her purse. Anything else you can claim as your own bags, and they won't have to search them. If you are checking bags, try not to check any in her name, because those bags will undergo additional screening as well. Don't tell any TSO's that you are carrying your wifes bags...then they will screen all bags. It really is to make it easier for the SSSS because all she will receive is a quick patdown, and a peek in her purse. I would try not to act like you are together in the checkpoint. Everything should go smoothly.

Gotta say you're the first TSA'er I've ever seen posting on here that recognizes other airports may operate differently than yours. ^^^ I worry that you need to get out of TSA before they completely suppress your ability to think independently.
In answer to your question, I would think that if a TSO observed 2 pax transferring bags during or directly before the screening and IF (and this is a huge IF) the TSO understood the (admittedly poor) rationale for SSSS, the TSO would/should insist that at least the transferred bags and perhaps the transferee pax go through the full SSSS rigmarole. It's not like TSA management anywhere I've been discourages arbitrary "conservative" decisions by individual TSO's.
Transfer the bags out of sight and there is no way I've ever experienced that non-SSSS pax get an SSSS search just because the travel companion is SSSS.
