What is the name given to the access points in the terminals that allow authorized employees to move from the public side to the Sterile side without going through a TSA checkpoint?

• A. Employee Portal
• B. DFW or Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport code
• C. AOA or Air operations area
• D. NTAS or The National Terrorism Advisory System

Answer: (A)

Access points between the public side and the sterile side for staff are called employee portals. They’re designed to let authorized employees move into the sterile area without going through the normal TSA checkpoint, while requiring proper credentials to ensure only approved personnel can pass. The other terms don’t describe these entry points: the Air Operations Area is the broader security area, NTAS is a threat advisory system, and an airport code is just an identifier for the airport.
