(a)   stop and search persons and vehicles at airports; and

  (b)   request persons to leave an aircraft, an airport or an area or zone of an airport; and

  (c)   restrain and detain persons until the persons can be dealt with by a law enforcement officer; and

  (d)   remove vehicles from an airport, or from an area or zone of an airport, if the customs officer is unable to have the vehicle removed by the person in control of it.

This Division   establishes restrictions on these powers, such as requiring the customs officer to explain why a search is to be made and limiting the amount of force that may be used.

A person who does not leave an aircraft or an airport, or an area or zone of an airport, when requested to do so by the customs officer commits an offence, as does a person who hinders or obstructs the officer exercising powers under this Division.
