Default SSSS

Just got this from the KCM folks:

If you are a Selectee, indicated by the Quad S marking (SSSS) on your boarding pass, you are required to go to the passenger checkpoint and submit to the regular passenger screening process before entering the sterile area.

DO NOT go through the KCM® Access Checkpoint. Not only will you be sent back to the passenger checkpoint, but you could face additional consequences for non-compliance that include possible loss of your badge.

When you complete the screening, your boarding pass will be stamped/punched by TSA, acknowledging your compliance.


I take it this means we'll need a paper boarding pass since I'm pretty sure I don't want TSA to "stamp/punch" the electronic boarding pass on my iPhone.

Why would you ever get a boarding pass before security?
Honest question

You could get the SSSS on your boarding pass from the gate just the same... then you're at an even bigger inconvenience.

I've never heard of this. If you get one of those at the gate you have to go all the way back to security?

Yeah, that makes no sense. You finish a trip and get off an airplane. You go to the next gate and get a boarding pass with SSSS printed on it. Now you have to go back through security? Even though you just finished operating a flight? They used to do this right after 9/11. Hope it’s not being brought back.

Yup. Had a company communication about the same some months back. It revolved around getting that once your DHD boarding pass is printed at the gate and the all around inconvenience it causes.

This is something that has been in effect forever. They are now however really starting to monitor compliance. I always get a electronic boarding pass and check for this reason when non reving. It will show there also.
