Section 1544.213 Use of explosives detection
systems.
(a) Use of explosive detection equipment. If TSA so requires by an amendment to an aircraft operator-s security
program, each aircraft operator required to conduct screening under a security program must use an explosives
detection system approved by TSA to
screen checked baggage on international flights.
(b) Signs and inspection of photographic equipment and film. (1) At locations at which an aircraft operator or
TSA uses an explosives detection system that uses X-ray technology to inspect checked baggage the aircraft operator must ensure that a sign is posted in a conspicuous place where the
aircraft operator accepts checked baggage. The sign must notify individuals
that such items are being inspected by
an explosives detection system and advise them to remove all X-ray, scientific, and high-speed film from
checked baggage before inspection.
This sign must also advise individuals
that they may request that an inspection be made of their photographic
equipment and film packages without
exposure to an explosives detection
system.
(2) If the explosives detection system
exposes any checked baggage to more
than one milliroentgen during the inspection the aircraft operator must
post a sign which advises individuals to
remove film of all kinds from their articles before inspection. If requested by
individuals, their photographic equipment and film packages must be inspected without exposure to an explosives detection system.

Section 1544.215 Security coordinators.
(a) Aircraft Operator Security Coordinator. Each aircraft operator must designate and use an Aircraft Operator Security Coordinator (AOSC). The AOSC
and any alternates must be appointed
at the corporate level and must serve
as the aircraft operator-s primary contact for security-related activities and
communications with TSA, as set forth
in the security program. Either the
AOSC, or an alternate AOSC, must be
available on a 24-hour basis.
(b) Ground Security Coordinator. Each
aircraft operator must designate and
use a Ground Security Coordinator for
each domestic and international flight
departure to carry out the Ground Security Coordinator duties specified in
the aircraft operator-s security program. The Ground Security Coordinator at each airport must conduct the
following daily:
(1) A review of all security-related
functions for which the aircraft operator is responsible, for effectiveness
and compliance with this part, the aircraft operator-s security program, and
applicable Security Directives.
(2) Immediate initiation of corrective
action for each instance of noncompliance with this part, the aircraft operator-s security program, and applicable
Security Directives. At foreign airports
where such security measures are provided by an agency or contractor of a
host government, the aircraft operator
must notify TSA for assistance in resolving noncompliance issues.
(c) In-flight Security Coordinator. Each
aircraft operator must designate and
use the pilot in command as the Inflight Security Coordinator for each
domestic and international flight to
perform duties specified in the aircraft
operator-s security program.
Section 1544.217 Law enforcement personnel.

this chapter.
(1) For operations described in
Section 1544.101(a) each aircraft operator must
