Fridge / Deception Point

• A Black Helicopter blows up a car with a guided missile in the middle of Washington D.C. at night and no one notices?
  • Even worse, a hellfire missile would leave a fairly distinct damage pattern. Because nearly all ATGM's use a shaped-charge HEAT warhead, the evidence would show a focused external blast from above, impossible to mistake for an internal omnidirectional explosion, such as a car bomb. Which the cops believed it to be.
• Despite trying his best to kill murder Rachel and the gang, Pickering allows them to board a US Navy submarine, even providing them with air transport later on, when he could have easily used those opportunities to deal with them.
