How can an O'Hare Badge holder appeal a denied access request?

An O'Hare Badge holder can appeal a denied access request by contacting the airport security management team. This is the appropriate procedure as the airport security management team is equipped to handle such appeals and can provide the specific guidance and review needed in these situations. They understand the criteria involved in access approval and can reassess the request if necessary.

The other options may not provide a direct or effective means of appealing a denied access request. For instance, filing a formal complaint with the TSA does not directly pertain to appeals of access requests at the local airport level and is generally reserved for more significant grievances regarding security operations. Asking coworkers for help could lead to misunderstandings or misinformation and does not follow the established protocol for an official appeal. Writing to the Chicago Department of Aviation, while a valid option for other matters, may not address the specific appeal process for access that is defined by airport security management.
