YOU WILL BE PENALIZED FOR DISREGARDING THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Monsieur Chrétien a quarante-neuf ans, il est marchand et est célibataire. Il n'avait jamais voyagé hors de son pays.
Le mois dernier, il a pris ses congés et a voyagé à la Guadeloupe pour voir son cousin et acheter des marchandises pour sa petite boutique. Le matin de son vol, il est allé à l'aéroport trois heures avant son départ et s'est rendu au comptoir pour vérifier l'heure de son vol.
Après cela, il est passé à l'immigration et à la sécurité et là, tous ses problèmes ont commencé. On lui a demandé d'enlever ses chaussures et ses bijoux avant de passer au détecteur métallique. L'alarme s'est déclenchée! Il a enlevé sa ceinture. Encore l'alarme! M. Chrétien était furieux. Finalement il a vidé ses poches et cette fois-ci il n'y avait plus d'alarme.
Trois semaines plus tard, pour le retour, M. Chrétien a eu une idée. Il s'est dit qu'il n'allait pas avoir cette même situation et a décidé de se coucher et de passer son corps par le scanner des bagages. Les agents de sécurité se sont étonnés et lui ont défendu de faire cela comme ce n'était pas permis.
