Goofs
In the scene where Snowden goes on his first date with Lindsay, as they walk through the protesters in front of the White House, you can see two red bikes in the background that are part of the Capital Bikeshare. Capital Bikeshare did not begin service until 2010. However, the date takes place around the time Snowden started with the CIA in 2006.
