Which one of the following is the prescribed guideline for conducting pre-embarkation security check of a passenger with prosthetics such as an artificial limb etc. ?

According to the guidelines issued by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), all passengers must undergo pre-embarkation security checks (PESC) to ensure aviation safety. Passengers with prosthetics (artificial limbs) are not exempted from these checks.

The standard operating procedure (SOP) mandates that such passengers are screened using a Hand Held Metal Detector (HHMD) and a physical pat-down. If the security personnel deem it necessary—for instance, if the metal detector is triggered or if there is a specific security concern—a more detailed inspection may be conducted in a private screening area to maintain the passenger's dignity. However, the fundamental rule is that no individual is exempt from the screening process on the grounds of having a prosthetic limb, making option D the correct choice.
