Who is responsible for establishing and enforcing airport security procedures?

Who is responsible for establishing and enforcing airport security procedures?

• A. DFW International Airport Board
• B. Airport Security Program
• C. ASP
• D. Airport Tenants

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that security procedures at an airport are defined and enforced through the formal Airport Security Program. This program is created by the airport operator (the authority that runs the airport) and approved by the TSA, laying out the specific measures to protect security, who enforces them, how access is controlled, screening requirements, and incident response. The airport’s governing board or authority provides oversight and policy direction, but the actual establishment and enforcement of the procedures come from the Airport Security Program itself. Tenants and tenants’ staff must comply with the program, but they do not set the procedures. So the responsible mechanism for both establishing and enforcing airport security procedures is the Airport Security Program.
