| Aspect | Entry Level Airport Baggage Scanner | Security Screeners |
|---|---|---|
| Required Certifications | Basic security or airport-specific training | Security clearance and training |
| Work Environment | Airport baggage handling areas | Security checkpoints and screening areas |
| Employer & Industry Usage | Airports, airlines, baggage handling companies | Airports, security agencies |
