Plot



Yossi Langotsky packs a fake bomb in a suitcase and attempts to check in for a Pan Am flight only to find out that he is late. However, the check in officer accepts an under-the-table payment bribe to allow Langotsky's suitcase to be checked in. Once the suitcase is loaded, Langotsky calls Pan Am CEO Edward Acker to inform him of the fake bomb being placed onto one of the flights. Acker informs him that he doesn't want this incident to happen again and that it is not the right way to question security procedures on airlines.
At the Pan Am headquarters in New York, Acker meets with his high-ranking executives, one of them being the new vice-president for aviation security Frederick Ford, and reveals a plan to make Pan Am the safest and reliable airline, with its new security subsidiary named "Alert". Ford, who is to head "Alert", proposes changes with some of their elements by adding new ones based on El Al's security but is rebuffed by other executives, who plan to do it the American way as Pan Am is an American airline. Ford and Harry Pizer later discuss the trainings for Alert, with the former planning to hire British military officer Col. Wilfred Wood to help with the program.
