What should you do if a security threat or bomb threat is received?

• A. Evacuate immediately without instructions.
• B. Notify captain and security, follow threat protocol, evacuate if instructed.
• C. Investigate the threat yourself in cabin.
• D. Inform passengers but take no action.

Answer: (B)

Handling a security or bomb threat hinges on following the defined threat protocol and the established chain of command. When a threat is received, your first action is to notify the captain and security so they can activate the protocol, assess credibility, and coordinate with authorities. Evacuation should only occur if directed by the captain or security, because an uncoordinated evacuation can create chaos and increase risk. Do not try to investigate the threat yourself in the cabin, and avoid briefing passengers or taking actions outside the approved procedure, as that can worsen the situation. By sticking to the protocol, actions remain controlled and aligned with trained safety responses, keeping everyone safer.
