Corrected entry: All the characters on the sneakers team are supposed to be super intelligent, but they all supposedly missed the rather large article in the newspaper about the mathematician being killed until right at the exact moment when Redford's character has begun to make the drop.

Sneakers (1992)
Corrected entry: At one point in the movie they go through a lot of effort to prevent a phone call to Mr. Abbot from being traced. The computer screen shows that the call was hung up before it could be traced, yet at the end Mr. Abbot manages to find them back at that same location. Also, Redford's character declares that location to be not safe anymore in the middle of the film, so it's puzzling as to why they would even return there after they recovered the box from Cosmo.
Correction: It's not the same location at all. They make the call to Abbott from Liz's apartment. Abbot confronts them at the Sneakers' loft. And they return to the loft because now they have the bargaining chip they need to make a deal with the NSA.

Correction: The fact that the newspaper is in the car suggests that Crease (or Martin) has only just bought it, and not yet read it. If they had read the newspaper before driving to the hand-off, why would they bring it with them?
