What is the focus of the AFSD in terms of screening?

The focus of the AFSD, or Assistant Federal Security Director, in terms of screening is primarily on managing screening checkpoints. This role involves supervising the effective implementation of security measures at checkpoints where individuals and their belongings are screened before entering secure areas, such as airports. By overseeing these operations, the AFSD ensures that the security protocols are adhered to, which is crucial for maintaining safety and preventing threats.

Managing screening checkpoints encompasses not just the logistics of the screening process but also the training and performance of security personnel, addressing any issues that arise during screening, and ensuring compliance with regulations. While conducting interviews and coordinating baggage handling are important aspects of airport security, they fall more under specific operational roles that support the broader responsibility of ensuring that screening checkpoints function effectively and safely.
