196. People with terminal illnesses are reckless and potentially dangerous. We need to keep an eye on them.
197. The head of the presidential security detail is not subject to regular medical reviews, so if he's diagnosed with a terminal illness that could impair his capabilities or judgment, no one in the entire government will find out.
198. With the Capitol under attack, the crack security/SWAT team deployed to defend the White House does not wear flak vests, and only takes up positions that leave their rear flank exposed. They will never, ever look behind them.
199. The White House has no self-destruct system, or even a blockade system to isolate intruders.
200. Fighter-bombers must fly 200 feet over their target to hit it, and slowly enough so that the pilots can see children on the ground.
201. Being on the White House Threat Matrix will not prevent you from getting a job with White House maintenance.
202. People involved in terrorist conspiracies use their own phones and pagers to organize their attack, rather than the disposable phones that every drug dealer and pimp buys for $29 at Wal-Mart.
203. NSA domestic surveillance cannot detect a massive terrorist plot to seize the White House, even if it involves mobile telephone conversations (see above) between Secret Service personnel, members of Congress, and known security threats.
204. The entire U.S. defense computer grid can be accessed via one convenient user interface, and hacked with a laptop and an ethernet cable.
205. The U.S. president can unilaterally authorize a nuclear strike with just his codes and fingerprints, without following the two-man rule or any re-verification of the order that has been the "football" procedure since its inception.
206. Anyone launching a military helicopter assault to re-take the White House will disregard the warnings from friendlies inside of the presence of advanced air defenses. To make it even easier for the enemy to target them, the assault helicopters will approach the target in formation, from one direction. (I also learned this from "Olympus Has Fallen.")
207. Channing Tatum is lucky he's handsome, because he sure can't act.
208. Roland Emmerich needs twice as much money as Antoine Fuqua to make exactly the same movie.
Those last two were serious :)
