I think that it can be both ways since the SOP states, "Situations may arise which merit a temporary, short-term deviation from established security procedures." The "established security procedures" are what are contained in the SOPs. What restriction would there otherwise be if an FSD decided on a whim to unilaterally and permanently require every passenger be subject to a full pat-down or that no liquids be permitted?
