Synopsis

In a cave-bound terrorist planning meeting, the frustrated leader grills fellow Al Qaeda members about their repeated failure to attack airplanes since the rise of post-9/11 airport security. The sketch turns the premise into a workplace-style meeting, with the terrorists blaming mundane TSA procedures such as removing shoes, confiscating liquids, body scans, and taking scissors away. The comedy builds on the absurdity that ordinary airport security rules have become their most formidable enemy.
