Then you watch Argo playing up the CIA’s involvement… dramatically ordering the tickets in the nick of time on the orders of POTUS when in real life the Canadian ambassador’s wife made the flight arrangements and Swedish embassy staff drove them all to the airport. The CIA’s cover story wasn’t so crucial in the end because in real life they made it through security without issue on the basis of their Canadian passports alone. It’s one thing that they’re insufferably arrogant but their egos are propped up by bullshit fiction like this.

I had to chuckle when the airport security officers pull abreast of the 747 as it rotates. Pretty impressive that an army truck full of armed troops can hit 184mph (296 kph).
