For Category I airports, what is the required time for law enforcement officers to respond to a criminal situation at the screening point?

  1. May not exceed 5 minutes

  2. May not exceed 1 minute

  3. 10 minutes

  4. 15 minutes

The correct answer is: May not exceed 5 minutes

Category I airports are subject to stricter security measures and therefore require a faster response time in case of a criminal situation at the screening point. The required time for law enforcement officers to respond cannot exceed 5 minutes, as stated in choice A. Choices C and D, 10 and 15 minutes respectively, exceed the maximum response time allowed for Category I airports. While choice B, 1 minute, may seem like an ideal response time, it does not allow enough time for law enforcement officers to properly assess and address the situation. Therefore, choice A is the most suitable and accurate answer.
