You’ve checked in.
Printed your boarding pass.
Grabbed your coffee.
And then you see it—right there at the bottom of the barcode:
SSSS
Four little letters that feel like a punch to the gut.
No warning.

“What did I do?”
“Am I on a watchlist?”
“Will I miss my flight?”
Take a breath.
Let’s demystify SSSS—what it really means, why it happens, and how to get through security with calm (and maybe even a little grace). ✨💛
