If you observe unauthorized access to a restricted area, what should you do?

• A. Enter the area to verify
• B. Report the incident to security or authorities
• C. Ignore and continue
• D. Take a photo and post on social media

Answer: (B)

Security and safety protocols in airside operations require you to report any unauthorized access immediately to security or authorities. If you see someone in a restricted area who shouldn’t be there, do not enter the area or try to verify who they are yourself. Do not ignore it or document it in ways that could expose vulnerabilities. Instead, use the established reporting channels—alert Security Control or the appropriate authorities with clear details: the location, time, what you observed, and any immediate risk. Let trained security personnel handle the situation to protect people and assets and to avoid interfering with investigations. Photographing or posting about the incident can create new safety and privacy risks and is not appropriate.
