Airlines may provide prisoners with food, beverages, or metal eating utensils only with authorization. Which option reflects this policy?

• A. Yes
• B. No
• C. Only with LEO authorization
• D. Only on international flights

Answer: (C)

The policy hinges on needing authorization from a law enforcement officer before giving a prisoner any food, beverages, or metal utensils. This ensures security risks are assessed and controlled during transport, since items like metal utensils could be misused or concealed as contraband. An explicit LEO authorization provides accountability and a documented decision about what, if anything, is allowed for the individual.

So, the correct approach is that these items are only allowed with law enforcement authorization. The other options would either ignore the security safeguards (giving items without approval or never allowing them) or add an unnecessary route-based limitation (only on international flights).
