What type of conduct results in becoming a Level 6 felony if it disrupts airport security?

Disorderly conduct is classified as a Level 6 felony when it specifically disrupts airport security, as this type of behavior poses a significant threat to public safety and the effective operation of transportation facilities. The law recognizes that airports are critical infrastructures, requiring a higher threshold for acceptable behavior.

When individuals engage in disorderly conduct within an airport context, such as making threats, resisting lawful orders from security personnel, or causing panic or disruption, it can obstruct the essential functions of security protocols that ensure safe travel. This elevation to a felony charge reflects the gravity of endangering both public safety and national security in such controlled environments.

Other behaviors, while potentially disruptive, do not carry the same legal implications when related to airport security. For instance, while disturbing the peace or engaging in a protest may involve disruption, they do not inherently target the heightened security measures necessary at airports. Disrupting a lawful assembly also lacks the specific link to security operations that qualifies it for felony designation in this context.
