Corrected entry: Clarice is told that Miggs is dead; he swallowed his tongue. That is impossible; the worst that can happen is a person can bite their tongue.

Corrected entry: When Buffalo Bill is using his infra-red goggles on his next victim - the Senator's daughter - she's driving, and she drives the car straight at Buffalo Bill before turning the car into her carapace. Problem is: when using infra-red, you can't have light on the glasses, as in headlights; it should have blinded him, and he would have torn them off. But he doesn't.
Correction: It would have blinded him, yes, but only temporarily and only because the display would have been washed out and blocking his view effectively turning the goggles into a blindfold for a brief moment. It's just a monitor in there and it only gets so bright. It doesn't actually enhance the light, it only shows you an image that simulates enhanced light. There was no reason for Bill to have torn his goggles off.

Correction: "Swallowed his tongue" is common parlance for choked on his own tongue, which is entirely possible. It does not mean he literally swallowed his tongue.
