The U.S. Department of Homeland Security operates the **DHS Traveler Redress Inquiry Program**, commonly known as DHS TRIP.
Travelers can use the program to seek assistance with certain recurring travel-screening problems.
It’s important to understand that submitting a redress request does not guarantee that a future boarding pass will never receive additional screening.
Security agencies can still select travelers for screening.
The purpose of the redress process is to provide a way for travelers to raise certain concerns and seek resolution when appropriate.
## Don’t Assume You Know Why It Happened
One of the biggest mistakes travelers make is trying to diagnose the reason for SSSS themselves.
Someone might say:
“It must be because you bought a one-way ticket.”
Another person might claim:
“It happens if you travel internationally.”
Someone else might insist:
“Your name must have been flagged.”
These statements may sound confident, but travelers generally cannot determine the exact reason for a particular selection simply by looking at their boarding pass.
