3. Reading: Incident at the Airport

As far as airport security is concerned, sometimes walk-through metal detectors are not enough. What must also be taken into account is a human error, as you can see in the newspaper article on p. 52 in your coursebook (Bonamy, D. (2011). Technical English Level 3 Coursebook. Pearson Longman). Read the text and answer the questions in this task. Then imagine that a witness is describing what he SAW during the incident. You can see the descriptions in this task. Rewrite the sentences so that they represent what the witness heard during the incident. As you complete the task, pay special attention to how quotation marks are used to indicate what part of the text is the direct speech.
