Widavjon,
Unless you are employed by one of the Government Security Services (AKA MI5 & MI6) you are not a "Security Officer". You are a Security Operative/person/man/woman/staff. Definitely not Officer. The word officer technically means somebody who holds the Queen's commission. Practically it implies a professional as in Police Officer. Airport Security staff cannot be described as professionals - even their own employers do not rate them highly enough to pay them much more than the minimum wage.
