What Does ‘SSSS’ On Your Boarding Pass Mean?

What ‘SSSS’ Stands For

SSSS stands for Secondary Security Screening Selection. It’s a designation used by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to indicate that a passenger has been selected for additional security screening before boarding their flight.

The marking typically appears on boarding passes for flights departing from or traveling to the United States, though similar security measures may exist in other countries.
