* CellphonesAreUseless: The hurricane wrecks all conventional cell phone towers early on, the satellite phone antenna of the Dominator gets shot up in the very first chase it's involved in, and the heroes are forced to smash the other satellite rig on the town (which is connected to the Federal reserve) to slow down the villains' plan to hack the safe's lock.
* TheCracker: Frears was brought along with the purpose of hacking into the vault's digital lock. His role ends when the heroes destroy the reserve's communications rig, which means he cannot contact his remote computers to brite-force the lock within any acceptable amount of time for the heist to be pulled off, forcing the bad guys back into trying to find Casey and the tablet that opens the safe.
