What is true about red SIDA badges that have an E or A printed on them?

• A. Red SIDA badges may be authorized to enter SIDA via an employee portal
• B. Red SIDA badges with E or A printed cannot escort others
• C. Red SIDA badges cannot enter SIDA via any portal
• D. Red SIDA badges are allowed to escort others without restriction

Answer: (B)

Red SIDA badges with E or A printed are signaling a limitation on the wearer’s ability to escort others. In this badge system, having E or A on a red badge means the holder is cleared to be in the SIDA, but not authorized to perform escort duties for others. Escorting requires a different level or designation of authorization, so these markings specifically restrict that function. That’s why the true statement is that they cannot escort others. The badge can still grant access to the restricted area, but it does not grant the escort capability.
