Who must have their RAIC visible above the waist according to standard procedure?

• A. Passengers
• B. Cabin crew members
• C. All airport personnel
• D. Flight crew only.

Answer: (C)

RAIC means Restricted Area Identification Card, a security credential that confirms someone is authorized to enter airside, restricted areas. The standard procedure requires this card to be worn above the waist so security can quickly see it during checks and verify authorization without delay. Because all individuals who work in or around restricted zones—airline staff, ground crew, maintenance, contractors, and others—must be identifiable, the rule applies to all airport personnel. Passengers do not wear RAICs, so the requirement isn’t about them, but about anyone needing access to secure areas.
