hope you enjoy this lesson and if it's your first time here I hope you enjoy

this lesson and this channel make sure to subscribe so that you don't miss any

of my weekly videos now what do you need to know about going through security it

is simple and it can be fast but the first thing you need to know about going

through security is that this starts way before you go to the airport going

through security starts with planning your carry-on luggage do you remember

what a carry-on luggage is it's that a small piece of bag that you can bring

with you inside on the airplane so it's important to check the items that are

not permitted in the carry-on luggage that you cannot bring inside a carry-on

luggage with you if your carry-on luggage is too big you will not be able

to bring it with you on the plane and finally liquids gel and liquids

there are specific rules for that so make sure that you check before you pack

your carry-on luggage another thing that is important your clothes everything you

wear matters too many accessories belts watches earrings a lot of stuff may

trigger may set off the detector the metal detector so less is more

good this is just to get started when you start to go in through security it's

important to have your boarding pass with you do you remember what a boarding

pass is this is an example of a boarding pass basically this is a piece of paper

that you receive after you check in if you want to learn

more about check-in I have a video about that here on my channel check it out

when you start going through security there may be some officers giving you

instructions of what to do in this situation as you are waiting in line

they may look at you and say please take off your shoes and belt at this moment

guys there's not much interaction between you and the staff at the

security you don't need to say much just pay attention and listen carefully okay

so take off your shoes and belt remove your shoes and belt Priscilla

where do I put them in the tray there will be a tray as you can see here on

the screen that's where you have to put all your belongings all your things your

accessories belts wallet shoes okay if you have keys in your pocket if you have

coins in your pocket put everything in that tray before you go through the

metal detector one important thing is if you have any electronic device inside

your carry-on luggage it's important to open your luggage remove the electronic

device and put it in another tray okay laptops or big cameras just put

everything in a tray make sure that you organized your luggage in a way that

it's easy to remove those items okay I have had some problems with organization

so Priscilla I put everything in the tray shoes belt wallet my laptop what

next now you have to put all these trays all your trays and your carry-on

luggage on a conveyor belt as you can see here on the screen this is where

your items and your carry-on luggage will go through will go on before they

go through the x-ray machine okay so this thing this conveyor belt will

keep moving and it'll lead your belongings and your carry-on luggage

tthrough the x-ray machine while that happens it's time to go through the metal

detector now that you're without the accessories belt maybe watches shoes

you can go through the metal detector safely and quickly if the detector goes off if

it beeps okay the officer may ask you some questions okay you will have to get

out of the metal detector and then they will ask you some questions don't panic

okay the questions will be very simple they will ask to pat you okay before

they start patting you they need to ask for your permission or they need to tell

you Oh sir stretch your arms please raise your arms okay and then the person

will check if there is anything that could have set off the alarm common

questions sir ma'am are you wearing any jewelry stretch your arms please this is

a command and instruction stretch raise your arms please in this case they may

use a different kind of scanner you went through the metal detector but when they

start patting you they may use a wand scanner okay it's one that it's portable

they can hold it in their hands and they can use it to scan to see if there's

anything on you that could have set off the alarm okay but other than that they

may not ask you many other questions it's a very quick and simple process

today the machines are becoming more and more modern and is smarter but maybe you

have had a surgery and you have pins in your body or maybe you have a metal

plate in your body so teacher what happens if the alarm sets off and I know

that happens because of these things inside my body you can inform them but

basically when they use the wand scanner they will know that probably you have a

pin in your body or something that could have set off the alarm okay now as your

carry-on luggage goes through security if they

see something suspicious or if there if there are way too many liquids inside

your luggage they may ask you to open your luggage okay they may ask you to

open your carry-on luggage so that they can see what's inside more clearly this

usually happens if you are carrying sharp objects maybe a pair of scissors

well that's not usually something people bring but hey what if you accidentally

dropped a pair of scissors inside your luggage I find that hard to believe

but it could happen or maybe have something that looks like it's sharp or

maybe you have way too many liquids so they may ask you to open your luggage so

that they can take a better look at it okay relax don't worry this is normal

procedure this has happened to me many times I had to open my luggage my

carry-on luggage at many different airports it's annoying but it happens

okay after they finish checking your bag because they asked you to open it they

will look through it when they finish they will look at you you are all set

off you go you can go after that my friend you are ready

Keep Calm and go to your gate because it'll soon be time to board as you can

see there are not many questions this is not a moment to have a long conversation

this is a quick moment this is the moment that passes by really quickly you

need to be fast take off your shoes take off your belt put it in the tray put it

on the conveyor belt let it go through the x-ray machine then it's your turn

you go through the metal detector if it beeps don't worry get out of the

detector let them pat you they may ask you questions or not they are usually yes

or no questions are you wearing any jewelry okay and can I pat you and

basically that stretch your arm sir but that's basically a very quick

conversation okay you don't need a lot of English you need to pay attention to
