According to Cinematical.com, director Mike Figgis was detained at LAX for 5 hours when he answered the question about the reason for his visit with “I’m here to shoot a pilot”.

Now, if you live in LA, heck if you pay attention to television in the tiniest bit, you know that a pilot is the first episode of a TV series. Just in case you were concerned that homeland security wasn’t doing its job, this is hard proof of the fine fine work they’re doing. Hurray!

Or maybe it was just that the immigration officer wasn’t all that impressed with Timecode. I mean, it *was* rather gimmicky.
