That Al-Midhar could elude three federal agencies, all of which knew his identity and the danger he posed, highlights the lack of coordination among U.S. intelligence agencies, whose biggest problem may be the intelligence system's splintered structure. The array of semiautonomous agencies--13 in all--share a secure computer network, but collaboration is not in their nature. Interaction between outsiders and CIA analysts or officials is difficult. Says a frustrated Administration official: "We don't have a place where it all comes together...
...than adequate, though a catastrophic injury like paralysis can blow through the whole reserve in just a few years. Similarly, surreptitious policy switching--which in John Q. causes the family's coverage to shrink as the lead character's work hours are cut--is not as much of a danger as the movie would suggest.

...Time Machine’s attempt at moralizing about the danger of obsessing with technology comes in the final scene. With the line: “It’s only a machine,” the time machine is destroyed and Hartdegan is stranded forever 800,000 years in the future. But as this salient bit of information is revealed, the movie cuts quickly to a shot of the time traveler slyly grasping Mara’s hand. After all, it was only a machine that caused Hartdegan to save the future world and fall in love again after...
