* BigBrotherIsWatchingYou: Virtually every single second of Anderson's heist, from conception to everything going to hell [[spoiler:and the caper crew either being killed or arrested]], was captured by surveillance from a number of different sources (police stakeouts, private detectives, the FBI, etc.) However, none of them interacted with each other, none of them did anything to try to stop the heist, and after everything is done they all decide to erase all information they recorded making mention of the heist to cover their own rear ends of the previous two points.

* RightHandVersusLeftHand: There were at least a dozen agencies (private investigators, the police, political spies, corporate saboteurs, the FBI) keeping an eye on every single moment of Anderson's planning of the caper, and not a single one of them did anything to prevent it because that would mean exposing to the world that they were performing surveillance - the very last scene of the film is even the superiors of every single one of these factions independently ordering the erasure of all of the tapes in order to cover their own rear ends.
