What Happens During Secondary Screening

If you are selected, TSA officers may:

  • Ask you additional questions about your trip.
  • Conduct a more thorough pat-down.
  • Search your carry-on luggage in more detail.
  • Scan your electronic devices.

The process can take extra time, so travelers are encouraged to arrive at the airport earlier than usual if they see “SSSS” on their boarding pass.
