On threat assessment, when does the airport screener need to initiate a physical search?

  1. When a confirmed threat exists

  2. Possible threat exists

  3. At random intervals

  4. Upon passenger's request

The correct answer is: Possible threat exists

A physical search is initiated at the discretion of the airport screener when a possible threat exists. It is not necessary to wait for a confirmed threat to take action. The screener may also initiate a search at random intervals as part of their security protocols, but not solely based on the passenger's request. While a passenger can request a physical search, it is ultimately up to the screener to determine if it is necessary based on potential threats. Therefore, B is the most appropriate and accurate response.
