Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

The speaker sarcastically proposes robbing Fort Knox on the way, picturing a helicopter flown through the lobby and landed inside the vault. The absurd plan is offered as easier than breaking into the CIA, which shows how formidable they consider that target.
