into the hold of the airplane.

buy a newspaper. Then she goes through the security check, where her 
carry-on luggage (the bags she is keeping with her on the plane) is 
searched. Than Pat goes into the duty free shop where she has a chance to

sitting and waiting until it is time for their flight to depart. After a few
