In some cities, the whole process can take fifteen to twenty minutes or more. This includes standing in line, sending your bags through the X-ray machine, and walking through a metal detector, which \u201cdetects\u201d 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 &#8211; or flat container &#8211; to send through the X-ray machine. Some countries &#8211; notably the United States &#8211; may even insist that passengers remove their coats and shoes. <\/p>\n<p>And of course it&#8217;s not just airports that have high security &#8211; more and more tourist attractions are &#8220;beefing up\u201d or increasing their security too. So negotiating security checks is a good skill to practice. <\/p>\n<p>In this episode, Honesto and Alan are on their way home.
