It may help to know that command of the aircraft passes to the senior policeman present on parking. I don`t think that is sensitive info.The captain would not be in a position to order anything.
The Captain would be in a position to order an evacuation, would he not?

In the unlikely event that a bomb had expolded, the captain would have been held responsible for not ordering an evacuation. Any suggestion that the police were in charge would be treated with derision by the courts, IMO. The police can do nothing to prevent an evacuation taking place and that is an undeniable FACT!
