* So, why is it that when your massive government AI which can tap into everything threatens to kill off half the government, Jerry's brother doesn't do the smart thing and TELL SOMEBODY? He does DNA lock the computer so it can't control reaper drones(though apparently stops it from doing little else) but considering he works in the basement of the Pentagon, you'd think it would be really easy for him to go upstairs and tell his boss that "Hey, the giant AI in the basement just went Skynet on us. Maybe we should shut it down or something". You know, anything other then go home and get murdered before he can tell anyone. At least pass on a note to the guy who relieves at his post "AI planning to kill President.". Things the "most trusted enlisted person in the Air Force" is supposed to know how to do for his job.

* Given the amount of freedom A.R.I.I.A. apparently has to mess with people's lives, what exactly did she need Jerry for? Yes, Ethan's DNA lock prevented her from activating Operation Guillotine in order to decapitate the government, but all the elements of the assassination plot were ''already in motion'' -- so what specific action was she not able to perform without "permission"? (The commenter above seems to think that the lock prevented her from taking control of Reaper drones -- but the only reason the drone was needed was to stop Jerry and Agent Morgan from interfering with the plan. All that was required for the assassination to succeed was for the detonator and the explosive to be in the same room as the State of the Union address. The first had already been accomplished without needing to involve Jerry at all, and the second only required somebody, anybody, to wear a specific necklace to the event.)
