CATSA screening officers conduct screenings of non-passengers accessing what at major airports?

• A. Restricted areas
• B. Flight
• C. Cabin crews
• D. Baggage handlers

Answer: (A)

Access to the airport’s secured zones is tightly controlled, so screening officers focus on people who are not travelers but still need entry into those areas. CATSA screens non-passengers—such as contractors, vendors, and airport staff—to make sure they’re authorized to be in restricted areas and not carrying prohibited items. This keeps airside operations safe and reduces the risk of threats entering sensitive parts of the airport.

The other options don’t fit because the screenings aren’t conducted for flights themselves, nor are they limited to a specific crew group like cabin crews; the target is the people who access the restricted areas.
