When Robert Grace is meeting alone with Gideon Young, he has his glasses on at the start of the conversation.

After the ambush on the freeway, when the Mercedes sedan is being chased by the FBI in the Range Rover, the Mercedes rounds a corner and bullet holes can be seen on the left hand side of the car, from the front door to the back of the rear door.

During the first FBI briefing that occurs immediately after the attack, Grant's character states the bomb looks like a plane dropped a 500 pounder.

Fleury discusses the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 and then mentions that nine years later, another attack took place there. The other attack on the building was in 2001, which makes eight years instead of nine as he explained.
