Good morning, ma’am. May I see your ID and boarding pass, please?
W :
Of course, here you are.
M :
Thank you. Please place your bags flat on the conveyor belt and use the bins provided for any small items.
W :
Should I take my laptop out of the bag?
M :
Yes, please remove your laptop, hat, and shoes, and place them in separate bins. Any other items in your pockets, such as your keys or coins, should also be placed in the bin.
W :
All right.

M :
You can collect your items. Just a quick reminder: any toiletries in your bag should be enclosed in a resealable bag.
W :
I’m sorry I wasn’t aware of that.
M :
It’s all right, just keep it in mind for next time. Unfortunately, this bottle of lotion is too large.
W :
Really? What should I do with it?
M :
I’m afraid you’ll have to leave it here. Liquids and gels are only permitted if they are less than 3.4 ounces, and they must be in a clear plastic bag that is less than one quart in size with a resealable top.
