Who among the following is responsible for disposal of articles seized during search of an airline passenger?
Explanation
According to the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) guidelines and the Aircraft (Security) Rules, 2023 (and the preceding 2011 rules), the responsibility for the disposal of prohibited articles seized or confiscated during the security screening of a passenger rests with the Airport Operator.
- While the Airport Security Group (ASG) (usually the CISF in India) or the Airport Private Security Group (APSG) is responsible for the actual search, detection, and seizure of prohibited items, they are required to hand over these confiscated articles to the Airport Operator for final disposal.
- The Airport Operator is responsible for providing the necessary infrastructure, storage, and logistical mechanisms to dispose of such items in accordance with safety and environmental regulations.
- Airlines are generally responsible for the disposal of items left behind by passengers inside the aircraft, but not for items seized at the main security checkpoints.
