Who gets the SAAP search card?

Who gets the SAAP search card?

• A. All cabin crew
• B. Pilots only
• C. Ground staff only
• D. Passengers

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that onboard security searches are carried out by the cabin crew, so the SAAP search card is given to everyone in that group. Cabin crew are the ones who are continually moving through the cabin, watching for unusual activity, and coordinating with the flight deck and security authorities. By issuing the card to all cabin crew, any crew member can initiate or participate in a SAAP search and act consistently with the established procedures, ensuring rapid, coordinated action across the entire cabin. Pilots handle flight operations and overall security coordination but are not the ones who routinely perform onboard searches through the cabin. Ground staff aren’t present during the flight to conduct in-cabin searches, and passengers don’t have authority or training to carry out these procedures. So, having the SAAP search card distributed to all cabin crew best supports coverage, authority, and consistency in emergency searches.
