Aviation security
Unconfirmed
MSS Security
National aviation security contractor; recruitment activity for Aviation Protection Officer roles based at Dubbo Airport is independently confirmed to exist (Dubbo is a designated Security Controlled Airport under the AIP, AIP Australia ERSA, FAC YSDU), and MSS Security is a genuine national aviation-screening contractor. However, the specific job listings found could not be conclusively attributed to MSS Security versus another contractor, so the scope/holder of the Dubbo screening contract remains unconfirmed rather than verified.
