Bomb threats are directed at which two targets?

• A. buildings and aircraft
• B. towers and hangars
• C. fuel farms and terminals
• D. baggage handling and runways

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that bomb threats at airports are aimed at the targets that can cause the greatest harm to people and disrupt operations the most: buildings and aircraft. Large terminal buildings and other passenger or staff facilities concentrate crowds and crucial activities, so an incident there can trigger mass evacuations, injuries, and a full shutdown of flights. Attacking an aircraft, whether on the ground or at a gate, puts many passengers and crew at risk and can immediately halt air service across multiple flights. The other targets listed—like towers, hangars, fuel facilities, baggage systems, or runways—do not typically offer the same combination of high crowd exposure and immediate, widespread disruption, so they are less likely to be the focus of bomb threats in security planning.
