- 1Security comes first, even when the checkpoint is busy
- 2Follow stated screening procedure before improvising your own approach
- 3Communicate clearly and professionally with passengers under pressure
- 4Stay calm and procedure-focused during conflict or uncertainty
- 5Escalate appropriately when a screening or safety issue requires it
- 6Document and report security concerns through the proper channel
- 7Professional judgment matters just as much as speed
- 8Reliability, attention to detail, and consistency are core hiring traits
The bundle also includes screening reminders, prohibited-item cues, checkpoint logic tips, communication notes, and bonus oral board interview prep.
