Which TSA-promoted category states that there is Develop an Airport Security Plan (does not have to be TSA approved)?

• A. Develop an Airport Security Plan (does not have to be TSA approved)
• B. Pilots: know who you are flying
• C. Assess security measures for specialty operations
• D. Transients: Sign-in procedures

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is planning for airport security. This TSA-promoted category centers on creating a formal Airport Security Plan that documents how security will be managed, what controls will be used, and how incidents will be handled. The key point is that the focus is on developing the plan itself, not on obtaining TSA approval, so the category recognizes the planning activity regardless of approval status. A well-crafted Airport Security Plan outlines risk assessments, roles and responsibilities, access controls, screening policies, training, and coordination with local authorities, providing a blueprint for how security will operate. The other options describe specific procedures or evaluations—pilot identity awareness, security measures for specialty operations, and sign-in procedures for transients—which are narrower in scope and do not capture the broader, planning-oriented activity of developing an airport security plan.
