i love how reckless disregard for the law by law enforcement/military saves the day time and time again. what a wonderful thought that is...
Technobabble comparable to what you'd see on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
This exchange on the show between $good_guy and $terrorists_girl is classic:
"They used Blowfish algorithm."
"How can you tell?"
"By the tab on the file headers."
"Can you decrypt it?"
"CTU has a proprietary algorithm. It shouldn't take that long. We'll start by trying to hack the password. Let's start with the basics. Write down nicknames, birthdays, pets -- anything you think he might have used."

Yep, that's the exchange I was thinking of.
Someone asked me if I'd supply information for a movie to try and get the technobabble right. I'm thinking I don't want to be even vaguely associated with hollywood technobabble unless I have final signoff on the damn script, which isn't going to happen.

you could always recommend the services of a technical hollywood consulting team. finding qualified experts in the decentralized networking technologies domain might be a bit difficult though :)

The Fox Network ought to contract Seth McFarlane, The Simpsons or Richard Linklater to animate the entire next season of 24. That's the least the network could do to compliment the show's outrageousness.

I'll never respect Keifer Sutherland again. Never.
