If you are an aviation security officer, you are protected from being personally liable for things you do under certain sections of the law, like sections 149 to 151, as long as you are doing them in good faith and as part of your job. This means you will not be held personally responsible for your actions when you are doing your job properly. You are protected when you are exercising your powers or performing your duties under the Civil Aviation Act 2023.
