Things I’ve Learned from “24”
Here are some things I have learned by watching 5 seasons worth of DVD’s of the series 24:
-
THE COUNTER-TERRORIST UNIT IN LOS ANGELES:
• Is far less physically secure than your neighborhood Baskin-Robbins, allowing captured terrorists to escape at will and kidnappers, assassins, and bomb-/lethal-gas-toting terrorists to enter its nerve center without any problems.
• Apparently screens potential employees by checking their library cards since they have one or more covert terrorist henchmen on staff at all times. These are allowed to provide the terrorist leaders a running commentary on CTU’s actions via cell phone and even to install surveillance cameras anywhere they wish.
• Cannot get through a single crisis day without changing its Director at least three times, often due to terrorist-influenced death.
