    • Trivia
      Leo's (John Spencer) description of how the Secret Service will conduct the president (Martin Sheen) to the bunker ("your feet may touch the ground once or twice, but I doubt it") was related in a similar fashion by Vice President Dick Cheney on the day of the September 11 attacks.
    • Goofs
      Leo says that a list of possible terrorist targets in the US now includes "Fort Myer in Maryland". Fort Myer is located in Arlington, Virginia.
    • Quotes

      Hogan Cregg: So what is it that you look for?

      Agent Simon Donovan: You know it when you see it.

      Hogan Cregg: What do you mean?

      Agent Simon Donovan: [Leads Hogan to a more open area. As he speaks, he moves her by the shoulders in a circle] Look this way. Now look this way. Now look this way.

      [Turns her to face him]

      Agent Simon Donovan: Now look at me. What did you see?

      Hogan Cregg: Uh... over here there was a mother with two kids. Over here there was a man in a coat, and I can't remember what else. And over here was the check out counter and there were some people over there and I can't remember what else.

      Agent Simon Donovan: Anything bother you?

      Hogan Cregg: No.

      Agent Simon Donovan: What about the guy in the coat?

      Hogan Cregg: What about him?

      Agent Simon Donovan: It's May. Why's he wearing a coat?

      Hogan Cregg: I don't know.

      Agent Simon Donovan: I don't know either. But until one of us leaves this store I'm always going to know where he is.
