Airport Security Officer Question:

A significant part of providing access control involves the visual and/or electronic routine verification of security credentials of various stakeholders who work at the airport and frequently pass back and forth between the PSL. These security credentials are unique to each person and formally referred to as a Restricted Area Identification Card (RAIC) in Canada, which includes photo identification combined with an electronic access card. In addition to checking credentials as a form of access control, Security Officers can also be tasked with administering the original security clearance applications, as well as programming access rights or privileges within electronic security systems. Due to the confidentiality and sensitivity required to work with the personal information required to create these credentials, Security can also be responsible to create and manage these credentials within airports.
