What is NOT a characteristic of suspicious behavior concerning persons?

  1. An identified person attempting to enter restricted areas

  2. A person wearing clothing inappropriate for the environment

  3. An identified person making an authorized package delivery

  4. A person loitering without a clear purpose

The correct answer is: An identified person making an authorized package delivery

The option indicating that an identified person making an authorized package delivery is not characteristic of suspicious behavior is correct because the act of making an authorized delivery involves proper identification and a legitimate purpose. Authorized personnel typically have permission to enter specific areas to carry out their duties, which diminishes the likelihood of their actions being deemed suspicious. This contrasts with the other options, where behaviors like attempting to access restricted areas, dressing inappropriately for the setting, or loitering aimlessly without a discernible reason can raise red flags and suggest potential security threats or unauthorized activities. Proper identification and adherence to protocols for deliveries signify legitimate behavior and are integral to maintaining security and trust in maritime environments.
