Really old thread but the movie really missed the mark on what the CBP Field Commissioner would make. Quick google research shows that the position may have been incorrectly referenced or has changed in title since the movie was made in 2004. The "Kennedy Airport Airlines Management Council" website (

) shows that Susan Mitchell is CBP's Port Director at JFK. In 2014, Susan Mitchell earned a salary of $181,500 based on the Executive Schedule (ES).

I'm gonna call it for what it is, a mistake during the writing process. There is no way a man in such a position of power at an airport would have made so little, even when adjusted for 2004 dollars. I literally googled this quote to see if anyone else had raised the topic because of how ridiculous it sounded.
