An access-control audit confirms that credentials are correctly matched to their holders and that expired or revoked credentials are rejected. However, employees authorized for one portion of the secured area can enter another portion for which they have no authority. Which required access-control function is failing?

An airline station manager relays a specific bomb threat naming an aircraft at the airport. No device has been found, and the caller's credibility is still being assessed. What response is required at this stage?
Correct answer: D - Evaluate under the ASP, initiate appropriate emergency-plan actions, and notify TSA immediately.
A former ASC is being considered for appointment at a different airport after an 18-month break from active, designated ASC service. Her satisfactory initial ASC training is documented, but she has not learned the receiving airport's procedures. Before she may act as its ASC, she must:
Correct answer: A - Complete site-specific preparation before the new operator designates her; initial training need not be repeated.
An airport's only regularly served air-carrier operation is a U.S. scheduled domestic passenger service using aircraft with a 50-seat passenger seating configuration. Passengers board through a sterile area. No other covered operations or TSA-approved alternatives apply. The required airport security program is:
Correct answer: C - A supporting program, because a 60-or-fewer-seat operation uses a sterile area.
A badge audit identifies 1,500 issued, unexpired badges, of which 36 are unaccounted for; 200 expired badges, of which 30 are unaccounted for; and 500 unissued blanks, all accounted for. Missing badges have already been deactivated. The airport's ASP requires system revalidation when unaccounted issued, unexpired badges exceed 3% of all issued, unexpired badges. Using percentages rounded to one decimal place, which audit conclusion is correct?
Correct answer: B - 2.4%; the stated revalidation trigger is not met by these findings.
A first-time SIDA applicant's fingerprint-based CHRC reports a felony burglary arrest four years ago but gives no disposition. No applicable CHRC exception or accepted aircraft-operator certification applies. The employer requests a 45-day unescorted badge while the court record is obtained. How should the airport handle that request?
Correct answer: A - Withhold unescorted authority while investigating whether the arrest resulted in a disqualifying offense.
An authorized airport consultant with an established need to know receives an excerpt of the approved ASP through the airport's secure channel. The excerpt contains SSI but lacks the required markings. No unauthorized disclosure has occurred. The recipient should:
Correct answer: D - Protect the excerpt as SSI, apply the required markings, and inform the sender.
A tenant's employee causes a security violation in an area covered by a TSA-approved airport tenant security program. The airport argues that the tenant's responsibility protects the operator from the violation. An audit shows that the airport omitted monitoring required by its ASP. Which finding is supported?
Correct answer: B - The operator cannot claim that protection without fulfilling its own required tenant-compliance measures.
A badged employee leaves her access card at home. The airport verifies her current unescorted access authority and issues a secondary access medium under its approved program. While she uses the secondary medium, how must the original be handled?
Correct answer: C - Deactivate the original until the employee returns the secondary access medium.
A contractor offers uniformed, armed guards as an airport's sole screening-support law-enforcement personnel.
