AFAIK it's handled through the airline when you purchase the ticket, and then is marked on your boarding pass that you get from the airline. If you've ever seen a boarding pass that has "SSSS" printed on it, it's to indicate to airline staff and TSA that the pass holder gets additional screening. I imagine this "95 list" is similar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_Security_Screening_Selection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_Security_Screening_S...

I used to get that on my tickets if I bought them in the last day. That doesn't seem to happen to me anymore though.

I'm pretty sure I don't have to show my boarding pass to the airport security when going through the screening here in Germany..?!

  I’ve had SSSS on my boarding pass multiple times when flying to the US. At Stockholm and Copenhagen they will take you out of line at the extra check at the gate (post security), to do another GC check of your luggage. Swedish airport security typically would also take my passport away until after the check. Amsterdam has a central area for this with Delta, after which they tell you the real gate (which is not on the monitors). United is again at the gate. Also: on days that I would get SSSS’d, mobile and self-service check-in would not work, forcing me to get the pass at the counter. Flights not to the US, even if outside the EU don’t have these checks. Honestly, If I would have something to hide, the SSSS on my pass would give me ample warning to just leave the airport again. Wondering if I can ask ‘why’ using a GDPR request now

  I've never boarded a plane in Germany, but in every other country I have (a few in Europe, several in Asia, and the US for sure), you have to show ID and boarding pass to airport security, and some countries also required it when going through passport control.
