ARMED SECURITY OFFICER ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND WAIVER OF RESPONSIBILITY
INSTRUCTIONS: In order to participate in the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Law Enforcement/Federal Air Marshal Service
(LE/ FAMS) Armed Security Officer (ASO) Program training, all participants shall read and acknowledge the contents of Section I and certify
in Section II. Competed forms shall be stored in accordance with TSA File Code 3400.21.

SECTION I. Acknowledgement of Limited Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Responsibility
I, the undersigned, understand that LE/FAMS has taken all reasonable steps to minimize all risks to the participants in the training, but is
unable to completely guarantee that no injury or other harm will come to me or my possessions. Participation in the training is voluntary in
nature and entails certain risks, some of which are directly related to being in a training facility and/or simulated aircraft/terminal/facility
environment. These risks include, but are not limited to, a slip or fall, fall over obstacles, injury occurring while engaged in training exercises
including (but not limited to) simulated combat with the use of simulated weapons, injury occurring from physical exertion, or the occurrence
of some other unforeseeable accident.
I further understand that it is my responsibility to notify a designated representative of TSA if a participant becomes injured or is behaving in
an unsafe manner during the training. I fully understand and accept these risks associated with participation in training. I also hereby agree
to hold harmless and make no claim of any description including claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities
against the United States, its officers and employees, and the site owners for any loss or damages suffered in the course of my participation
that arise from the risks inherent in this activity. This agreement does not extend to injuries or losses (other than those arising from or
related to the inherent risks) proximately caused by the negligent or wrongful act or omission of an employee of the Government, acting
within the scope of employment, to the extent such claims are authorized and governed by the Federal Tort Claims Act.
I understand that this release will be binding upon me, my estate, and my heirs, representatives, and assigns. I further confirm that I
understand that the activities of a typical training event can involve a good deal of physical activity, and I am in good physical health and do
not suffer from any heart condition or other ailment or physical disability that would impair my ability to participate in the events or place me
in undue health jeopardy. I understand that LE/FAMS and the Lead Training Officer or designee will attempt to understand and work with
the needs of individuals attending this training; that I am not obliged to participate in the training if I do not desire to do so; and that I may
elect not to participate in the Armed Security Officer Program. I have notified the Lead Training Officer prior to the start of class, if I have
any medical condition or other special circumstances that may affect my ability to participate safely in this training.
I agree to follow all the rules of safety given to me by my Instructor(s).
I have read this Limited Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Responsibility carefully, and understand that by signing this form I am agreeing
on behalf of myself, my estate, my heirs, representatives, and assigns not to sue or seek other legal actions against the United States, the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the TSA LE/FAMS, or any of their officers, site owners or transportation carriers providing training
facilities, or any of the insurers of the aforementioned parties for any loss or damages suffered in the course of my participation including
injury or death except as expressly provided herein.
