Which of the following is NOT a duty of the ASM?

The correct choice indicates that "communicating with the cargo department" is not considered a primary duty of the ASM (Airport Security Manager). The role of the ASM primarily focuses on ensuring the safety and security of airport operations and compliance with established regulations and standards. This includes implementing security policies to safeguard passengers, staff, and facilities, overseeing audits and maintaining compliance with safety standards, and managing the overall security program.

While communication with various departments, including the cargo department, may occur, it is not a core responsibility of the ASM role. Instead, the ASM's duties center more on strategic aspects of security management rather than logistical or operational communication functions that might be handled by other personnel.
