I'm very curious about this list and whether I'm on it. I have an extremely common Anglo-American first+last name and there was a period of years when I would regularly get my boarding pass stamped "SSSS" and pulled aside for the secondary screening almost every time I flew, which at the time was 5-6 times a year or more.
Now, my name is truly so common that I have convinced myself there was something more than just that name triggering the SSSS designation. Otherwise, most major airports would have been patting down someone with my name multiple times a day. I suppose that's possible, but if so it would really damn the value of this sort of list. The extra screening did seem to depend on which airline and which airports I was using, so maybe there was something else going on. Or maybe some dude with my name just crossed some line he shouldn't have and me and everyone else with that name paid the price for a few years.
