Articles seized during the security screening of airline passengers are initially taken into custody by the security personnel who conduct the search. In India, this task is performed by the Airport Security Unit (ASU) or Airport Security Group (ASG), which are typically units of the CISF or State Police. These personnel are responsible for the handling, documentation, and disposal of seized items according to the procedures laid down by BCAS.

The Airport Security Unit (ASU) or Airport Security Group (ASG/APSU), comprising personnel from forces like CISF, are responsible for seizing and subsequently handling/disposing of prohibited articles found during passenger screening.

The disposal procedures vary depending on the nature of the item (e.g., legally prohibited weapons are handed over to police, liquids over limits might be discarded, less dangerous items may be returned or stored for collection).
