Benicio del Toro got stopped at TSA because of 'The Phoenician Scheme' script

Benicio del Toro says a TSA agent stopped him after he found his script for 'The Phoenician Scheme' in his bag and its opening plane crash sequence raised some red flags: 'It's a film script!'

The Oscar-winning actor revealed that he was stopped by TSA after they found his copy of the Wes Anderson spy comedy in his carry-on bag and its opening plane crash sequence raised some serious red flags. "I'm in Boston and I'm flying to L.A. and, for some reason, I have my computer in there and I didn't take it out, so the TSA people, they just said, 'Hey, we need to check your bag,'" del Toro recounted on Wednesday's episode of Late Night. He headlines the film as the complicated Anatole "Zsa-Zsa" Korda, a wealthy businessman who reconnects with his daughter Liesl (Mia Threapleton) after a string of assassination attempts.
