I never needed one for Part 91 or 135. That's not airlines. SIDA (security indentification display area) is for flight crew and service personnel working for 121 airlines at passenger terminals. I would venture a guess all Part 121 ops including small ones serving tiny airports require SIDA compliance, because even if those flights serve feeder airports the feeders would have to be secured as well. But if you are not 121 you do not need a SIDA clearance.
