The correct answer is B) Bomb threat contingency plan. This is the specific intervention plan designed to handle situations involving communicated threats or the discovery of explosive devices.
Airport security protocols include specific contingency plans for various types of emergencies. A bomb threat or discovery of an explosive device triggers the activation of a specialized plan tailored to the unique risks and procedures associated with explosives, including search protocols, evacuation procedures, and coordination with bomb disposal experts.
