Airport security

The airport operates with TSA passenger screening at the commercial terminal and controlled FBO/ramp access via Luxivair SBD for general aviation and international arrivals; CBP processing is conducted within a dedicated FIS area at the GA facility.

Perimeter security is consistent with FAA Part 139-certified commercial service standards, with the broader site encompassing the former Norton AFB footprint.

Ground corridor

San Bernardino presents an elevated opportunistic crime environment driven by property crime, vehicle theft, and violent crime rates that are materially above both state and national averages, making heightened personal security awareness necessary for all ground movements.

Higher-risk areas are concentrated in the central urban core south of the SR-210 and east of the I-215, as well as in areas immediately southeast of the airport; travellers should plan routes that favour established freeway corridors (I-10, I-215, SR-210) and avoid stopping in unfamiliar residential or commercial blocks adjacent to those zones.

Pre-arranged vehicles with professional drivers or vetted ground support are strongly advised for crew and passenger movements to and from the airport, particularly after dark; while commercial transport options are available at the airport, independent kerbside solicitation should be declined in favour of pre-confirmed arrangements.

There are no active movement restrictions, comprehensive US embargoes, or armed-conflict zone designations applicable to this location.

City threat summary

The United States presents a moderate and broadly stable security environment, though civil unrest activity is substantially elevated by global standards and the domestic terrorism threat from lone-actor and small-cell actors remains persistent.

The November 2026 midterm elections — covering the full House of Representatives, more than a third of Senate seats, and a significant share of governorships — are generating heightened political tension and an increased potential for election-related unrest or targeted political violence.

Heightened immigration enforcement activity in major metropolitan areas and enhanced border screening procedures have added a distinct layer of concern for international travelers.
