You've got the backstopping in Hollywood.
But this is the kind of non-sexy part of this, I suppose.
You need a lot of documents.
Yeah.
Not just the passports.
that you have from the Canadians.
You need a load of documents.
I mean, what documents would you need, Gordon?
It's a leading question, Gordon.
I think, yes, Canadian identities, Canadian pocket litter, Canadian driver's licenses, all of this stuff is Canadian documentation.
Big bags.
And in this case, it's the Canadian diplomatic pouches.
I mean, it's literally a guy who takes them, a bag.
Into the embassy.
The hand carries it.
And a hand carries it the whole way, a Canadian citizen.
So it's not... An Iranian national is not handling that bag at any point in its journey.
So it's not X-rayed, intercepted, searched, nothing like that.
So all of that, you're right, it's being produced...
in this joint operation between the Canadians and the CIA in Ottawa, and then sent by diplomatic pouch to Tehran.
