Which category includes Federal, state, or local government entities?

• A. Airport Tenants
• B. Aircraft operators
• C. Contractors
• D. Federal, state, or local government entities

Answer: (D)

Think about grouping by who the organization is. Government entities are those officially part of government at any level—federal, state, or local—and they’re distinct from private or corporate groups.

This option explicitly names that category as “Federal, state, or local government entities,” so it directly matches the question and leaves no ambiguity about what counts as a government entity.

The other groups refer to non-government participants—airport tenants are private businesses renting space, aircraft operators are companies that fly aircraft, and contractors are external service providers. They may interact with security processes, but they aren’t themselves government entities.

So the choice that names federal, state, or local government entities is the correct one.
