They have us tagged...

After watching the video by Naiomi Klien, I'm curious about the codes on airline tickets that tag you as bring on the 'watch list' and subject you to additional harassment at the TSA checkpoints. Evidently the code is SSSS printed on the lower right hand corner of the pass. I'm almost tempted to take a flight just to check my status. It was said in the video that if you are a 'critic' of the security state you are thus branded. Sort of like acing '666' tattooed on your forehead. Either way, just one more way the police state tracks its enemies.  I'd like to be able to confirm if this is fact or the figment of a paranoid mind.

I had a ticket with SSSS one time - don't know what it was for, don't remember having any major hassle getting where I needed to be. I may have been patted down but that's as far as I've ever been "searched"
