Which of the following is NOT listed as a controlled article?

• A. Dangerous goods
• B. Prohibited Items
• C. Medical Equipment
• D. Fire Arms

Answer: (C)

Controlled articles are items that require special handling or are restricted under transport rules because of safety concerns. Dangerous goods are tightly regulated because they can pose risks like flammability, toxicity, or reactivity, so they fall squarely under controlled items. Firearms are also heavily controlled and usually require permits, declarations, and specific transport arrangements. Prohibited items are those that are banned from carriage altogether, aside from normal screening. Medical equipment, however, is generally allowed and not treated as a controlled article, as long as it complies with standard screening and airline policies (for example, batteries must meet separate battery rules). So the item that is not listed as a controlled article is medical equipment.
