Which of the following is a listed responsibility related to physical security for the airport?

• A. Maintaining perimeter fencing
• B. Scheduling flights
• C. Handling passenger meals
• D. Issuing tickets

Answer: (A)

Physical security at an airport is all about preventing unauthorized access to restricted areas and protecting the facility itself. Maintaining perimeter fencing is a fundamental control that physically blocks entry and helps define the boundary around sensitive zones like airfields and secure facilities. This tangible barrier is a clear example of a security measure aimed at controlling access, which is why it’s listed as a physical security responsibility. The other tasks—scheduling flights, handling passenger meals, and issuing tickets—are operational or customer service activities and do not directly involve protecting the facility or controlling access to restricted areas.
