It was brought to our attention DFW airport security compliance has been seeing piggybacking or tailgating issues through the Automated Access Control System (AACS) where access is restricted to SIDA Badge Holders coming from DWH (Hanger 5). Please read the following Sec. 9-21 from The code of rules and regulations manual. The full PDF of the code of rules and regulations is also provided as a download.
SEC. 9-21. ENTRANCE USING SIDA BADGE.
(a) A Badge Holder commits an offense if he enters the sterile area, secured area, or
SIDA through an Automated Access Control System (AACS) portal where access is
restricted to SIDA Badge Holders and:
(1) does not first present their SIDA Badge for authorized entry;
(2) allows another person entry who has not complied with (a), also known as
“piggybacking” or “tailgating”; or
(3) uses an employee portal to access an aircraft for the purpose of flight when
he is not (1) a member of an on-duty flight crew with a valid SIDA Badge or
(2) an on-duty Federal Air Marshal with a valid SIDA Badge. For purposes of
this section, an on duty flight crew member is one who is actively engaged as
a pilot, copilot, flight engineer or serving as a flight attendant on board a flight
departing DFW.
(b) A Badge Holder commits an offense if he enters a terminal building or the secured
area and does not enter the SIDA either through a manned AOA gate, AACS
employee portal, or a passenger screening checkpoint. It is a defense to prosecution
for a violation of this subsection if the individual is acting in an official capacity as a
DFW Airport law enforcement officer or fire fighter, a DFW Airport Airfield Operations
Employees, a federal/state/local law enforcement officer, or a US federal government
employee.
(c) A Badge Holder commits an offense if he enters any AOA gate for the purpose of
boarding a flight for which screening is required except on duty flight crew or a
Federal Air Marshal.
SEC. 9-22. DISPLAY OF BADGE.
(a) A Badge Holder commits an offense if he:
(1) having used his SIDA Badge for entry into the sterile area or SIDA, fails to
prominently display his SIDA Badge on his outermost garment above the
waist and below the neck while in the sterile area or in the SIDA;
(2) having used his Non-SIDA Badge for entry into the sterile area, fails to
prominently display his Non-SIDA Badge on his outermost garment above the
waist and below the neck while in the sterile area;
(3) displays a defaced SIDA or Non-SIDA Badge or displays a Badge on which
information has been purposely covered;
(4) upon the request of another, fails to display his SIDA or Non-SIDA Badge
while in the sterile area or the SIDA; or
5(5) displays the Badge of another person. Unless such other person has
reported his identification Badge as lost or stolen both persons shall be
considered to be in violation.
(b) It is a defense to prosecution for a violation of this subsection if the person not
displaying his SIDA Badge as required in subsection (a)(1) is a law enforcement
officer or a Transportation Security Inspector acting in an official capacity.
