If you pretend to be an aviation security officer when you are not, you are doing something wrong. You might do this by what you say, how you act, how you look, or by wearing a uniform that makes you look like an aviation security officer. If you do this, you can get in trouble with the law.

If you get caught doing this, you might have to go to prison for up to 3 months, or you might have to pay a fine of up to $15,000, or you might have to do both. This is because you have broken the law by pretending to be someone you are not.

You can find more information about this law by looking at the Civil Aviation Act 1990, which had a similar rule.
