"Millions of Americans fly, and we protect them with minimum-wage rent-a-cops," says Association of Flight Attendants spokesman Jeff Zack, who argues that airport security workers should be federal employees. Congress continues to bicker over whether such workers should be government workers or instead be employed as private contractors subject to strict federal supervision.

This agitated comedy (produced by Lee's cousin Spike) could be called The Big Chillin' if it had a smidge of the 1983 film's wit and charm.
