* In the scene where Costello is making the Chinese Microchip deal, Ellerby works with the FBI to put the entire place under surveillance cameras and gloats about "how I love the Patriot Act", there's a small cut to a FBI techie who seems to sneer at him. The entire sting is a bust because the cameras are angled poorly and the meeting is conducted in a huge blind spot. Later we find out that [[spoiler:Costello is a FBI mole, so the entire scene has the FBI guys screwing Ellerby and the Staties over to protect their man]].
* Sullivan strolls out of his meeting with Queenan and flirts with the [[DistractedbyTheSexy secretary]] which means [[spoiler: he doesn't spot Billy and know he was already in the police and interviewed by Queenan for his special unit.]]

* Some people say Sullivan deleting Billy's file would be discovered in any remotely realistic situation. Who says it ''wasn't''? Maybe someone else in IA was quietly building a case against him, and it was just another way he would've eventually been caught, like the evidence Billy left with Madolyn, or the evidence Costello sent to the FBI (possibly).
