22 How Do I Challenge? Challenging is being observant of others in your working environment. If you observe someone entering your work area (a designated SIDA or AOA area), you are encouraged to approach the individual if they are not displaying an ID badge which is visible to you. If someone enters a restricted area behind you, and they do not display an ID badge or appear to have gained access by not entering their PIN on an access card reader, CHALLENGE! When challenging, make sure the ID badge belongs to the person and is still valid. If at any time you feel threatened by the individual or afraid to approach them, immediately notify Airport Operations while keeping the individual in your sight if possible. On a consistent basis, testing is conducted by TSA Officials, Airport Officials, and other government authorities on the detection of persons not displaying or entering an area with proper ID badge or access methods. We ask for your cooperation in assisting CLT by being observant of your working environment and helping to promote a safe and secure environment and helping to promote a safe and secure environment for all of us. 22
