What’s SSSS?

like

It’s a US security procedure so you will only get it if you are heading into the US.

I am white female, gotten it twice so far.

Got it when coming back to the US from Russia. Would have been fine with that as a decent reason if the secondary screening didn’t only have POC

Brown female, every 4 trips

It only happened on international to me. I take about 20 of those a year.

Gotten it only once during this year of weekly travel between Canada/US
I’d like to say there is nothing “random” about it, but considering the number of my trips I don’t think there is any bias in it.
Brown guy with a beard here.

White girl and used to get it every 3 trips as well but have a pretty sketchy passport (lots of trips to state department ‘level 4’ countries). Finally got a redress number and now it happens every 6 international trips or so.

Thoughts on the proposed JetBlue -Spirit Merger?

I used to be a big fan of Jetblue(nyc based), but lately I feel like the airline is just as bad as the low cost ones. Old aircrafts, canceled and delayed flights. I can see why it’s important for JetBlue to have this merger for their relevance in this field.

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!
