I seem to remember hearing about there being an indicator of whether or not you should be given an "enhanced screening" as well. I assume it is set if you are on a watch list, or randomly otherwise.

If you're on "The List" or have otherwise triggered red flags, your boarding pass will have a quadruple S marking on it (SSSS) in plain text.
