Getting Access to Restricted Areas 


Security officer: Excuse me, sir, but this is a restricted area. Only authorized 1 personnel are permitted. 


Carl: I just want to take a quick look. Is this really where the president will be speaking? 


Security officer: I can neither confirm nor deny that, sir. Please step aside. 


Carl: What if I have press credentials 2? Could I get in then? 


Security officer: Only if you’ve been screened by security. Really, sir, I must ask you to leave this area. It’s off-limits to you. 


Carl: Couldn’t I just hang around and watch while people arrive? I won’t say a word. 


Security officer: No, and if you persist, I’ll have to have you shown out. 


Carl: I’m not causing any trouble. I’m an American citizen and this is a free country! I can stand wherever I want to. 


Security officer: Not on private property. Jim, could you please escort this gentleman off the premises 3


Carl: Hey, this is a travesty 4! I’m going to file a formal protest! 


Security officer: You do that. Just do it off the premises.
