Can cabin crew challenge someone in a restricted area who does not have their RAIC visible?

• A. No.
• B. Yes; all airport personnel should have their RAIC visible above the waist.
• C. Yes; RAIC is optional in restricted areas.
• D. Only supervisors can challenge.

Answer: (B)

In restricted areas, identification is enforced by requiring the RAIC to be worn and visible above the waist by everyone authorized to be in that zone. This visibility lets security and crew quickly verify who belongs there. Because of this rule, cabin crew are empowered to challenge anyone in the restricted area who does not have their RAIC visible. That’s why the best choice is that yes—RAIC should be visible above the waist for all airport personnel, and crew members can challenge someone who isn’t showing it. The other options conflict with this policy: RAICs are not optional, challenges aren’t limited to supervisors, and crew members do have the authority to address unidentifiable individuals in restricted spaces.
