ANALYSIS OF LEGAL LIABILITY FOR VIOLATIONS OF SECURITY PROCEDURES AT KUALANAMU INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

Abstrak

This study analyzes legal accountability for violations of security procedures at Kualanamu International Airport. Aviation security requires consistent screening, access control, patrol, supervision of security-restricted areas, reporting, and coordination because failures may involve passengers, workers, contractors, security personnel, or organizational systems. The research uses normative legal research with an empirical juridical approach, drawing on statutory materials, airport-security documents, legal literature, and an interview with a Kualanamu security shift commander. The findings show that the security system is formed by a hierarchy of legal norms governing screening, access, restricted areas, facilities, personnel competence, reporting, supervision, and emergency response. Violations may include unauthorized access, card misuse, incomplete screening, ignored alarms, broken chains of custody, unattended posts, failure to report, or action outside authority. Accountability may be disciplinary or administrative, civil where loss occurs, and criminal when the elements of an offense and fault are proven, while responsibility must follow the duty and control of each actor and be accompanied by system improvement
