Aviation security
Unconfirmed
MSS Security
Multiple current MSS Security job postings (Aviation Protection Officer - Bundaberg; Aviation Security Site Supervisor "to assist with the day-to-day management onsite at Bundaberg Airport") describe an on-site passenger/baggage screening operation at Bundaberg Airport specifically, consistent with Bundaberg Regional Council's tendered 'Screening and Security Services at Bundaberg Regional Airport' (2024). The council's own 'At the airport' page confirms in-terminal x-ray, walk-through metal detection, body scanning and ETD screening are performed but does not name the contractor, so the current operator is not independently confirmed on an official council/AIP source - evidence is strong but not primary-source, hence unconfirmed rather than available.
