Here are the answers to the questions on the worksheet. Since I don't have the original article, I have answered these based on general knowledge about airport security rules and common sense, which is usually what these worksheets look for.
1. From the information provided in this article, list three suggestions which make an airport experience more positive.
*(Note: Without the text, here are the three most common tips found in these types of articles)*
* Arrive at the airport early so you aren't rushing.
* Wear shoes that are easy to take off and put back on (like slip-ons).
* Have your ID and boarding pass ready in your hand before you get to the agent.
2. Why should you always keep your luggage in sight?
You should keep your luggage in sight to make sure no one puts something dangerous or illegal inside it without you knowing. It also prevents someone from stealing your bag.
3. What might be the result of a passenger joking about having a gun?
Joking about weapons is taken very seriously. The passenger would likely be arrested, fined heavily, and banned from flying. It causes security alerts and delays for everyone.
4. Why do you think passengers are asked who packed their luggage?
Security officials ask this to ensure that the person packing the bag knows exactly what is inside. This confirms that no one else slipped dangerous items into the suitcase while it was being packed.
5. If you were a security official at an airport, what are three things you would do to foil a terrorist?
* Carefully scan all carry-on bags and checked luggage using X-ray machines.
* Check every passenger’s photo ID against their face and boarding pass.
* Use metal detectors or body scanners to check for hidden weapons on people.
6. Why do you think a photo ID is necessary for airplane security?
A photo ID is necessary to prove that the person traveling is actually the person who bought the ticket. This helps authorities track who is on the plane and ensures that criminals or people on "no-fly" lists cannot use someone else's name to travel.
