It's one thing to plan a vacation trip to Cancun if you have a Dutch passport. It's entirely another to find a way to safety if you have an Egyptian passport.

We are experts in moving people to places that various governments would rather we didn't. The global immigration, customs, and travel system is an absolutely massive technological and human system designed to make sure things happen according to the government's agenda. We have our own agenda, and it all makes for great hacking potential.
Insert clever engineering, some interesting math, more than a bit of skullduggery, and you end up with our routing system and what we humbly suggest is an epic hack for a life saving purpose.
