Quick answer
Secure the Airport supports Desktop, Mobile, Tablet, and Console. Use the standard Roblox movement and camera inputs, but follow the button or key shown by the current game for scanner, luggage, document, restraint, and combat actions. Those contextual prompts are more reliable than a permanent third-party key list.

Controls by platform
On PC, the Roblox client supplies movement, camera, jump, and menu behavior; the game supplies contextual interaction prompts near passengers and equipment. On console, use the analog sticks and the button shown beside the active action. On mobile or tablet, use the virtual movement controls and the contextual touch button.
This distinction matters after updates. A Roblox-default input is not proof that every Secure the Airport station uses a particular key, and an old screenshot may no longer match the current HUD.
- PC: use the visible keyboard prompt for the selected station or tool.
- Console: use the displayed controller glyph instead of translating a PC key yourself.
- Mobile and tablet: center the target before tapping a small contextual action.
- All platforms: wait for the result before moving to the next screening layer.
Passenger and scanner actions
Approach the correct station and keep the intended passenger centered. Activate the prompt once, wait for the scanner result, and keep that result attached to the same traveler.
A successful button press is not the end of the decision. Resolve any warning before releasing the passenger or starting the next person.
- Select one passenger.
- Activate the visible scan prompt.
- Read the result.
- Resolve the warning.
- Clear or stop the same traveler.
Luggage and document actions
Luggage, passport, and boarding-pass checks are separate steps. If an interaction prompt does not appear, first confirm that the previous layer is complete and that you are targeting the correct object rather than the passenger or another station.
On touch screens, avoid moving the camera while pressing a small action. On a controller, pause long enough for the contextual glyph to change when focus moves between objects.
Restraint and combat controls
Equip the current tool and use the on-screen action prompt for handcuffs, weapons, or other response equipment. The official page confirms criminals, dangerous travelers, and boss breaches, but it does not publish a fixed keybind table.
Specific sprint, reload, weapon-switch, aim, or controller-button mappings should be checked in the current build. This guide deliberately does not present Shift, R, or a particular gamepad button as a confirmed game-specific control.
Fix controls that are not working
Start with position and focus: step away, approach again, center the intended object, and finish any incomplete prompt. If another player controls the station, wait or move to an available station.
If the HUD remains missing, open the Roblox menu to confirm the correct input device, reconnect the controller if needed, and rejoin once. Record the device, missing action, and server time before reporting a repeatable issue.
- Re-center the target.
- Finish the previous step.
- Check station ownership.
- Confirm the active input device.
- Rejoin once and record the result.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Secure the Airport controls on PC?
Use the standard Roblox movement and camera controls, then follow the current on-screen prompt for each scanner, luggage, document, restraint, or weapon action. Game-specific prompts can change after updates.
Can you play Secure the Airport with a controller?
Yes. The official Roblox game page lists Console support. Use the displayed controller prompt instead of assuming a keyboard key maps to one permanent gamepad button.
Does Secure the Airport support mobile controls?
Yes. Mobile and Tablet are listed as supported platforms. Touch players use the Roblox movement controls plus contextual buttons shown by the game.
Why is an interaction button missing?
Move closer, center the correct passenger or station, finish the previous screening step, and check whether another player is using the object. Rejoin once if the prompt remains missing.
How do you scan a passenger in Secure the Airport?
Approach the scanner, read the visible interaction prompt, activate it, wait for the result, and resolve any luggage or document warning before clearing the traveler.
Are Shift and R confirmed Secure the Airport keybinds?
Not by the checked first-party source. Treat specific sprint, reload, and controller-button claims as version-dependent until the current in-game HUD confirms them.
