Lawrence Hall

You are Now Leaving the ******** Sector

Please have your passport ready

Your proof of return

Your proof of financial responsibility

Your testimony of undying loyalty to the regime

Take off your shoes

Empty your pockets and place the contents in the plastic

tray

Don’t make any jokes

What is the purpose of your trip?

When were you last out of the country?

For what purpose?

Have you ever traveled to any of the following countries…?

Are you related to anyone in your country of destination?

How?

Are you carrying more than $100,000 in currency or negotiable securities?

Step into the curious machine

Step out of the curious machine

Please take off your belt and step back into the machine

Please step out of the machine and hold your arms high

Do you have a pacemaker or other electronic medical device?

Do you have a heart?

The wand is not intrusive

Stand on one foot

Now stand on the other foot

The patdown is not intrusive

You may proceed

When we stepped outside the ******** sector

We looked back and realized how small it is
