You got it! Nice solve, everybody.

******************SPOILER

Fatima is checking celebrity Justin's passport at the airport. She notices some rabid fans approaching that he seems not to want to engage with. She looks at his ID, then loudly says, "Wow, Mr. Smith, did you know you look just like that movie star Justin?" The crowd disperses, disappointed, and he warmly thanks her.
