Answer:
If your boarding pass has SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS on it, it means you're a selectee for additional screening.

Round trip travelers are randomly selected, while one-way travelers are almost exclusively selectees.

I'm a pilot with with secure ID and am in the national database and still get selected for additional screening at times. It's not that big of a deal, is it?

Answer:
They do random searches. Sometimes you might fit a certain profile and sometimes it's just bad luck that you were “chosen” to be searched.

I wouldn't worry unless it happens all the time. Then there may be something on your file that makes them target you.
