When Michael Douglas lets the phone ring in the restaurant in order to distract a Secret Service agent, he quickly slips by. But if the corridor is such a crucial point, an additional Secret Service agent should have been placed there. Even ordinary security companies have any 'vulnerable' position guarded. See more...

When Abraham Lincoln originally established the Secret Service in 1865, their mandate did not include presidential protection. The day after Lincoln signed the legislation to establish the Service, he was shot by John Wilkes Booth. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry When Michael Douglas' character is kneeling by the garbage can in the alley, if you look closely you will see that there are a series of numbers, but before them is an abbreviation for the state of California (CA) instead of D.C., where they are supposed to be at this particular time. [CA written on the side of a garbage bin does not necessarily mean it is an abbreviation for the state of California. CA could simply be the beginning of serial numbers for the bins. The company in this town that does sanitation is based from over 600 kilometers away, and serial numbers on the bins don't seem to have anything to do with state or city designations.]
Entry Kiefer Sutherland states that the Canadian US border is 3500 miles long, and that Michael Douglas could slip over the border almost undetected. In fact, the border is 3987 miles long including the water boundaries, or 3145 miles if just including land crossings. These miles do not include the 1538 miles between the state of Alaska and the province of British Columbia and Yukon Territory. If he's estimating the length of the border, he would be more correct to say either 4000 miles or 3000 miles. Someone working with the Secret Service would be more specific due to security training. [Character choice, not a mistake. Time was a factor, and he did not have time to rattle off all the wonderful geographical facts that accompany your submission. A distance of 4000 miles is more than what is true, and 3000 is not enough, as it is factually more than that. He likely picked the average of the two, which is 3500, which gives a good average, as well as saves time.]
