Confirm the TSA-approved security program and current directives; this is not legal advice or a universal access-control standard. The citation is not a substitute for observed state, authorization, compliance evidence, or dependency health. Examine identity, DNS, communications, facilities, suppliers, and the people authorized to invoke recovery before translating the source into an operational decision.\nApplicability questions\n\nFor source statement 1 at 49 CFR 1542.107(c) (eCFR anchor p-1542.107(c)), which observable configuration, record, or test can confirm applicability here?\nFor source statement 2 at 49 CFR 1542.107(a)(2), read with 49 CFR 1542.107(a) (eCFR anchor p-1542.107(a)(2)), which observable configuration, record, or test can confirm applicability here?\nWhich owner can attest to the recorded state of essential functions, upstream providers, recovery sequences, alternate work paths, and tested recovery objectives, including exceptions?\nWhat baseline for identity, DNS, communications, facilities, suppliers, and the people authorized to invoke recovery must accompany the source-specific observation?\nWhich success, stop, and escalation criteria are written before testing begins?\n\nDSE recommendation:\nDSE recommends using the cited source as the evidence anchor for this decision. Use a two-person review for the source interpretation and the resulting operational decision. Record the source location, examined part of essential functions, upstream providers, recovery sequences, alternate work paths, and tested recovery objectives, observed and expected states, owner, and reason for deviation.\nFor an approved change, define prerequisites, a limited test path, success and stop conditions, monitoring, and rollback. Check identity, DNS, communications, facilities, suppliers, and the people authorized to invoke recovery in design order. Protect credentials, keys, recovery material, personal data, and sensitive topology in evidence.\nVerification and evidence\nKeep the source locations 49 CFR 1542.107(c) (eCFR anchor p-1542.107(c)); 49 CFR 1542.107(a)(2), read with 49 CFR 1542.107(a) (eCFR anchor p-1542.107(a)(2)) adjacent to the sanitized artifacts used for comparison. Prefer business-impact records, dependency maps, exercise results, recovery timings, and open corrective actions, with enough identity and timing data for an independent recheck.\nPreserve both successful and failed observations, along with approval and rollback evidence. Avoid uncontrolled production experiments. Assign an expiry or event-driven recheck so the conclusion is not treated as permanent.\nOfficial references\n\n49 CFR 1542.107 — Airport Security — Transportation Security Administration via eCFR",
