Does Upgrade Trigger Search?

According to the long Washington Post story on airport security this morning, "modification" of a ticket within 72 hours of flight is a "behavior" that the "computer Assisted Passenger Pre-screening Program" (CAPP) looks for.

Does anyone know whether getting an upgrade counts? I ask partly because my boarding pass was marked "S" for the first time last week at FCA when a subsequent segment of the journey had been upgraded 24 hours earlier.

Agreed

I fly every week on United and had never had the dreaded SSSS until last week.

I tried the Flyer Talk suggestion of "change your seat and the SSSS goes away" but it didn't. I was in FC in 1B -- maybe the computer decided that i was too close to the cockpit.

Nobody knows...

Well, technically some people do know. It's just that they are not supposed to talk about it.
