Answer
What parts of Palma Airport are most important for security?
The most sensitive points are places where staff can access restricted areas, keys, cash handling systems or travellers' luggage. Baggage areas, machine rooms and other back-of-house spaces need strong control because they are less visible to passengers. Security depends on both physical barriers and clear record-keeping.
