Truth Analysis
Analysis Summary:

- Verification Source #N: N/A (Internal Knowledge)
Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:
- The claim aligns with my understanding of standard airport safety protocols. It is not contradicted by my internal knowledge.
- Lack of Coverage: No external verification sources were provided to either support or contradict the claim.
