I passed the SIDA test today at PHX

Hi all,

I would like you know that mean I am passed the SIDA test for me today this afternoon. I am being very happy for me that I am been waiting for long time since I am been working at FLL years ago. I know all about the security regulations and does need show out the SIDA badge when they are enter the secured area or down near the ramp area. I would show you out for me that I got switch over from blue badge to real SIDA green badge for me today. I pay fees for $10 at Operations Center. When my interpreter was there and they are helpful to understand what is exactly about airport regulations. I know about TSA rules and else to do. I will be exciting to get on the near the ramp and when I am taking the boxes out from upstairs on 2nd floor at terminal 3. You will explain me something about review the rules about airport safety. Thanks all!

Regards

Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly is SIDA?

The only definitions I know for that acronym are

síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (Spanish)
syndrome de l'immunodéficience acquise (French)

neither of which would be cause for congratulations (well, a negative test result, maybe).

Can you enlighten me?

Stands for Security Identification Display Area, meaning the nonpublic parts of the airport sterile area where everyone is badge-obsessed. Don't have your badge displayed properly and all hell breaks loose.

Thanks all! I am really appreciate that I am been spent more time do my test at PHX airport and now, I can get access into the ramp area when I am taking the trolleys out from upstairs and when my supervisor & I will go downstairs to get more trolleys for Pizza Hut Prep and Production mean for all concourses and terminal 3 & 4 expect with Starbucks, and any restaurants or the bars, too. You know that mean if I can take a pictures with the airplanes must to stay with someone. I would definitely that I am knowledge when my last time I was passed the SIDA test at FLL years ago while I am been working at FLL from 7 years ago around early 1999. I remember when they gave me the purple badge for few months and I didn't do it anything for me about security badge last time.

Do they think that I can tour around the terminal to see the baggage handling or something else if I can see something when they are working. I would imagine if my manager to has say ok to me that I can get onto the tour around the ramp. Thanks all!
