During Lavatories and accessible areas security check, which action is performed to entry?

• A. Open toilet lid
• B. Floor area
• C. Ensure no hidden objects in stowage, waste or supply areas
• D. Check security seals intact if installed

Answer: (A)

Opening the toilet lid is the action that actually grants access to the interior of the lavatory, allowing the inspector to perform a thorough check for hidden objects or tampering. Lifting the lid provides visibility into the toilet bowl and surrounding areas that would otherwise be hidden, which is essential for a proper security check of this space. The rest of the tasks—examining the floor area, inspecting stowage, waste, and supply areas, and verifying security seals where installed—are part of the broader sweep, but they do not by themselves enable entry into the lavatory interior for inspection.
