About this skill
The linked bag-search checklist begins with the conversation with the owner and follows the check through the bag’s different spaces. It emphasises visibility, a consistent order and the role of the owner in opening the bag and presenting its contents.
Use this overview to review the sequence your team follows, the equipment it uses and the points where a question needs to be escalated. The separate bag-search demonstration offers a visual companion for a longer session.
After viewing, ask a colleague to describe the sequence in their own words. Compare the explanation with the site procedure and identify anything that needs clarification from the trainer.
What to focus on
- Review the opening conversation with the owner.
- Identify the order used to check different parts of a bag.
- Discuss visibility and the owner’s role in presenting contents.
- Find the escalation point for an unresolved concern.
When this is useful
