Of course we are to suspend belief. But my job is to be the annoying guy who tries to find 10 things to complain about each week. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

Anyway:
1) It may be true you'd want different frequencies. But in this scenario, that would mean each of them has a different-looking detonator, since we were able to identify the frequency by what it looked like. Maybe that is the more obvious oddity, being able to pick up the frequency for remote detonation based only on a partial look at the part.

2) They even tell us to turn off cell phones in blasting areas, so I have to concede that cell phone frequencies could be in the range necessary. Also, cell phones naturally transmit over a wide range of frequencies, something over 1500 I believe, and choose them based on communication with the towers so they have the ability to do so, so again I was probably too harsh. Also, I realise that Jack is not coordinated with Ops, and Ops probably isn't using cell phones.
4-6) You are right, I'm assuming they are at the airport. If not, it is a simpler problem, how did YellowTieGuy get past what should have been a perimeter.
5) If they didn't smuggle in the cannisters, then this makes more sense, someone ELSE had the cannisters, the bad guys broke in somewhere to steal them, but needed the keycard. I see that now; I assumed that the airport use meant something came in on an airplane, but it wouldn't have had to.

7) You are right about the jamming timeline. They could have stopped jamming as soon as they had Jack. My bad.

10) I hadn't thought about the idea that the code could have changed monthly. Curtis was sent on ops last season, thus my assumption.

Boy, if I can't come up with 10 good things in a 2-hour set, how am I going to do my job when there's only an hour of material? I might have to cut down to a top-5 list.

Thanks for the clarifications and objections. I think I understand the plot a little better now.
