The Secret Meaning Behind the SSSS Airport Code

After decades of speculation, a leaked TSA memo has revealed the true meaning behind the mysterious "SSSS" marking on boarding passes - and it stands for "Super Special Security Screening (sigh)." The designation, given to randomly selected passengers, actually follows a complex algorithm that detects subtle signs like "owns more than three devices" or "once Googled 'are taxes optional?'" Frequent flyers report increasingly absurd SSSS experiences, from having to explain memes in their camera roll to proving they can identify "which of these spices is actually drugs." The most humiliating part? Agents admit the extra screening accomplishes little beyond "making someone late enough to reconsider their life choices." Some travelers lean into it, showing up in full criminal chic ("If I'm getting patted down anyway, I might as well dress for the role"). The only winners? TSA PreCheck salespeople, who've started whispering "Psst... wanna avoid SSSS?" like airport drug dealers.
