When an emergency happens, what is the course of action for an airport screener?

  1. Alert Supervisor ONLY

  2. Contact Law Enforcement ONLY

  3. Alert Supervisor, Contact Law Enforcement, Contact Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD)

  4. Do nothing and wait for instructions

The correct answer is: Alert Supervisor, Contact Law Enforcement, Contact Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD)

In an emergency situation, an airport screener should take immediate action by alerting their supervisor and contacting both law enforcement and Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD). This is because an emergency at an airport could involve a potential threat of explosives, and it is important to have the appropriate authorities and specialized personnel involved in handling the situation. Option A only involves alerting the supervisor, which may not provide enough assistance in cases of potential security threats. Option B, while it involves contacting law enforcement, leaves out the important step of also involving EOD. Option D is not a recommended course of action as it may delay the appropriate response and put passengers and staff at risk.
