Notes for season 1 episode 10<\/a> “Number crunch”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14:20 The bomb in the baby-carriage was wired to the radio<\/a>. It seems like such a movie-plot assassination device, but apparently exploding prams were considered a real threat<\/a> in post-9\/11 New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15:46 The thing about phones constantly looking for the wifi networks they recognise is usually talked about in terms of tracking phones (in 2012 phones looking for wifi signals used a fixed MAC address that would uniquely identify them) rather than tracking locations. Storing wifi hotspots might sort of be true, and wifi-based location is certainly a thing… but by 2012, people had already discovered their phones were intentionally either relaying location data back to cloud servers, or in the case of iPhones, storing it in a database<\/a> (consolidated.db<\/code>)\u00a0on the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25:00 “Wish we could hear what they’re saying” “Unfortunately we’re not the NSA” Carter implying that the NSA would monitor domestic calls?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30:00 Finch is looking at a flight-plan on the FAA website. Except it’s faa.org<\/code> (“Fresno Adventist Academy”) and not faa.gov<\/code>. (And in 2012 I think flight-plans would have been filed via afss.com<\/code> – then run by Lockheed Martin – and not publicly available.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

33:30 “Always a pleasure to meet a representative of the blogosphere.” Blogosphere<\/em> feels like such a dated term 10 years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

39:29 “Your welcome.” reads the subtitles on my digital copy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
