In this Business English Pod lesson on business travel, we’ll be looking at how to deal with security checks.


In recent years getting through the security check at the airport has become a chore. In some cities, the whole process can take fifteen to twenty minutes or more. This includes standing 1 in line, sending your bags through the X-ray machine, and walking through a metal detector 2, which “detects” or finds any metal you might have hidden on your body. Most security checks thus require passengers to take metal items out of their pockets and put them on a tray – or flat container – to send through the X-ray machine. Some countries – notably 3 the United States – may even insist that passengers remove their coats and shoes.


And of course it’s not just airports that have high security – more and more tourist attractions are “beefing up” or increasing their security too. So negotiating security checks is a good skill to practice.


In this episode, Honesto and Alan are on their way home. They arrive at the airport late, so they are anxious about missing their flight. When the dialog begins, they have checked in to get their boarding passes. Now they need to go through security.


Listening Questions:


1. At the beginning of the dialog, what does the security officer ask passengers to do?

2. What problem does security find with Alan’s baggage?

3. Alan has to leave an item behind at the security check. What is it?
