(1) Police no longer handcuff hands behind the back.

(2) Police cars no longer have windows dividing the front and back seats.

(3) You can drive a car using taser stuns on the driver. .

(4) You can endure multiple high speed car crashes without wearing a seatbelt and suffer no injuries.

(5) Police cars no longer lock rear doors from the outside.

(6) You can jump from a moving NYC subway without a scratch

(7) The FBI's handcuff chains are 4-5x longer than normal.

(8) You can make an explosive launcher from 2 common household chemicals and a fire extinguisher.

(9) CIA buildings do not have bullet-proof glass

(10) There are no security cameras or video surveillance inside Presidential bunkers. This makes Winters' and Salt's guilt or innocence impossible to determine. What happens in the bunker, stays in the bunker.

(Bonus) You can jump from a moving helicopter into the Potomac river, in the winter, and survive.

Bingo! :) Good list. The actress is photogenic. BUT she is NOT 10 foot tall and stronger than all the cops , Secret Service Agents , C.I.A. agents... Makes them look like they are as weak as all the people that "Jack Bauer" on '24' whooped... argh! The stunt people did good.... and they should get awards for the action shots. BUT this movie ( which kinda-sorta has an interesting plot... ) is just plain silly on soooo many levels. The casting director should be exiled to a faraway land ( desert island )so she can NEVER again be allowed to cast Jr. High School dropouts as C.I.A. operatives and leaders (( and one that looked like a clown :( ugh! )).

- steeling a hat can be a quite pleasant surprise, if afterwards on the ferry you find that you already have the matching poncho
- nobody smokes anymore

As unbelievable and farfetched as it may be, it's still entertaining, like Eagle Eye. I love both movies! Watching it now. :)

Yeah, it was fun - watched it just now - stupid plotholes as big as (insert off-color joke here), but entertaining anyway, lol.

Up until the bridge scene where they had Salt cornered, it was a first-rate spy flick. After she jumped off the bridge, it turned into a live action Road Runner cartoon.
