Portable Professional (Travel Tips with Megan)

⚠️SSSS Alert!⚠️

If you see these 4 letters on your boarding pass, you're about to have a VERY bad day at the airport. 😰

S-S-S-S stands for Secondary Security Screening Selection, and it means you've been flagged by the Department of Homeland Security for additional screening.

Here's the brutal part: it completely overrides TSA PreCheck and Global Entry. 💔

I learned this the hard way when my nail polish triggered a false positive for explosives. 🤦‍♀️

What followed was an hour-long ordeal that almost made me miss my flight.

Here's what you need to know about SSSS:
🎯 The 6 reasons you might get selected
🔍 Exactly what happens during the screening process
✈️ How to reduce your chances of being flagged
📋 The questions they'll ask during your "interview"

Plus, I'm sharing my personal SSSS disaster story and the shocking reason I got flagged — spoiler alert: it was something completely innocent that millions of people do every day.

By the way...Airlines won't hold your flight or give you a refund if you miss it because of security delays. ⚠️ Don't let S-S-S-S catch you off guard.
