Narrative:

First flight of day security check paper work not provided. I was not initially given aircraft security paper work stating aircraft had been inspected before flight. When I confronted security at sdq, they said that the international form that states that the bags and passenger are and have been inspected was the same form now. I told them I did not think that they were correct and wanted the aircraft security paper work before I departed. They complied with my request and even had the security people that inspected the aircraft there for my questions. There seems to be confusion at out stations as to the requirements. This needs to be made explicitly clear.
