Short Synopsis:
Jack is a TSA agent. He doesn't know which he hates more; his job or his personal life. But when the TSA institutes a new policy that turns passengers into zombies (as another option to full body scan or grope), Jack knows things have to change.
After he gets fired for taking a stand, Jack finds a mysterious prototype TSA security wand that turns his life upside down. Armed with the wand and a new determination, he sets out to make a difference.

The Plan: The film will be submitted to festivals around the country, will spread online, and will address the controversy surrounding airport security measures in a hard-hitting yet entertaining way.
If you love good film and hate the nonsense required to get through security at an airport, we invite you to join us!
