92  Airport security guards' power to physically restrain persons
 (1) An airport security guard may physically restrain a person if:
 (a) the airport security guard reasonably suspects that the person is committing, or has committed, an offence against this Act; and
 (b) the airport security guard reasonably believes it is necessary to do so in order to:
 (i) ensure that a person who is not cleared is not in a cleared area or a cleared zone; or
 (ii) maintain the integrity of a landside security zone, a landside event zone, an airside area, an airside security zone or an airside event zone.
 (2) If a person is restrained under subsection (1), the airport security guard may detain the person until the person can be dealt with by a law enforcement officer.
 (3) In exercising a power under subsection (1) or (2), an airport security guard must not use more force, or subject a person to greater indignity, than is necessary and reasonable.
