The dad from Arrested Development blackmails a TSA agent to make him let a dirty bomb through security screening. Jason Bateman calls him "buddy" at least once, as is tradition.

He doesn't drive a ladder car, unfortunately.

The TSA agent has to do everything under the watchful eye of The Colonel from The Big Bang Theory in perfect disguise as Deputy Commissioner Rawls from The Wire.

Except bomb defusal, which is done in private.

The bomb does pass through, and then the agent runs around through the ever-increasing manufactured excitement to try to intercept it before it's too late. His pregnant girlfriend, who is very pregnant, also works pregnantly at the airport, and arrives pregnantly to help resolve the impregnated situation.

They're going to have a baby.

Jason Bateman just walks around calmly talking on the phone, and occasionally poisoning people or arming them with toy guns.

Nerf battle at work.
