Progressive security enforcement fee.
San Antonio City Code § 3-184
in effectSec. 3-184. - Progressive security enforcement fee.
The progressive security enforcement fee shall be determined by multiplying the frequency and severity of the security violation, by a ten-dollar ($10.00) baseline charge (i.e., fee = $10.00 × frequency × severity factor). The severity factor is determined by the location and the type of the offense. San Antonio International Airport has three (3) designated restricted areas: the sterile area (inside the terminals but beyond the TSA security checkpoint), the secured area (outside the terminals near the commercial aircraft), and the security identification display area (SIDA, the entire AOA). The types of security violations are grouped into five (5) major categories: vehicular violations, access point violations, security rule violations, breaches of the restricted area, and unsecured sharp objects. The table below indicates the severity factor by location to be applied in the formula.
SEVERITY FACTOR BY LOCATION
Restricted Areas | Vehicular Violation | Access Point Violation | Security Rules Violation | Breach of Restricted Area | Unsecured Sharp Objects
Sterile Area | 0 | 2 | 3 | 5 | 5
Secured Area | 2 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 0
SIDA | 1 | 2 | 4 | 5 | 0
