While searching a subject you could potentially encounter a needle that could be a threat to your life if pricked

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: True

When a security guard is conducting a search on a subject, there is a potential threat of encountering various hazardous objects, and one of these could be a needle. Needles can pose a serious threat as they could potentially be contaminated with infectious diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C. These can be transmitted if the security guard gets pricked while conducting the search, therefore the statement is true. It's crucial that security guards proceed with extreme caution, use protective equipment, and receive appropriate training to minimize these risks.
