While we're in Virginia let's stop by Fort Knox. I'll fly a helicopter through the lobby and land right inside the vault. And it would be a hell of a lot easier than breaking into the goddamn CIA!

What it means
Our 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.
