Which statement correctly differentiates ISC from GSC?

Which statement correctly differentiates ISC from GSC?

• A. ISC is the inflight security coordinator who handles airborne security issues; GSC is responsible for evaluating airport security procedures for each flight
• B. GSC handles inflight beverage service, while ISC handles ground security
• C. ISC handles passenger scheduling, while GSC handles catering
• D. They are the same role with different acronyms

Answer: (A)

The key idea is the separation between on-board security coordination and airport-based security coordination. The inflight security coordinator is the person responsible for managing security issues that arise during the flight itself, coordinating with the crew and authorities as needed while the aircraft is airborne. The Ground Security Coordinator handles the security plan on the ground at the airport, coordinating with TSA and airport security to evaluate and implement security procedures for the upcoming flight. That’s why the statement describing ISC as the inflight security coordinator who handles airborne security issues and GSC as the person responsible for evaluating airport security procedures for each flight is correct. The other options mix in nonsecurity duties (like beverage service or catering) or suggest the roles are the same, which they are not.
