Tried to onlinecheck me and my lady in on our return flight from Spain to the US via Delta. Delta allowed my wife to online check-in but not me. I called Delta to find out what the issue was and they couldn't tell me anything. I started googling and found out that I'm likely getting a "SSSS" on my boarding ticket and going through extra security, which is exactly what happened.

This was very inconvenient and quite frankly, stupid. I'm a TSA pre-check qualifier due to military service and my wife is not, yet I was selected and she wasn't. This was the first time I've had to do this. Does anyone know why I was selected?

Completely random who gets the dreaded SSSS on the boarding pass. Just get to the airport and gate early, they'll go through your belongings a little further than the normal inspection

Definitely not completely random in all circumstances. My gf gets checked every time we fly back back into the US and I never do. Probably random in his case though.

Ya word was you got SSSS if you went through Istanbul.

But that's the only "non-random" reason I've seen. Otherwise who knows.
