Whether it's right or not is immaterial- it's not like AMF wants that stuff. It's required for security (likely TSA). The AMF CP has to act as "Ground Security Coordinator" and whatnot, the stuff that's handled by TSA with their X-ray machines and metal detectors and omnipresent "Your luggage has been searched for your safety and convenience" pamphlets in a real terminal. Keep in mind, most AMF operations happen on small airports that don't have full-time (or any) security aside from a fence- and not even that at a lot of places.
