"NG NS" on ticket after airport security

I went through security at the Sacramento Airport with a friend. He got something written on his boarding pass "NG NS". I didn't have that. We both went through the same metal detector, neither beeped nor had random checks. Flying to Edmonton through Seattle connection. Early for flight.

I have tried searching for "what is tsa ng ns" on Google but nothing useful came up. Any ideas?
