- In the future people will put a solid wall at the end of the time travel runway, so that if something goes wrong, it goes really wrong! Because in the future people don't think of extending the hall an extra couple of meters or at least putting a door there and there won't be any cleaning ladies to remove the blood stains from the wall, regardless of whether subsequent young female cops will get a nervous breakdown before their time jump.

- TEC code 40.8 subsection 9 is "time travel with intent to alter the future" which is punished by immediate execution. And there are 8 subsections that are more important.
- Although altering the future is a crime (punishable by death), TEC agents travelling back in time wear uniforms from 2004 with patches on the shoulder that say "Time Enforcement Commission" thereby altering the future by letting people see futuristic clothing which also suggests IN WRITING the possibility of time travel.

- The agents emerge in the past in pretty much every position except the one they should be in: sitting.
- script writers and movie directors forget that blown up houses (in a HUGE explosion) won't stand anymore 10 years later.

- Truck drivers will continue to drive full speed when a human being materializes in front of their truck. No slamming of the breaks, no swerving, not even honking.
- When someone shows you his shoes you have to read between the lines.
- You can't go into the future. Unless you go into the past first.
- There is an awful lot of C-14 in Confederacy gold bars.

- Ricky should have an exhibit
- McComb will be sending female staff a picture of the inside of the president's limo
- Matuzak's wife uses too much salt
- It's fine to leave behind a mini-disc player and newspaper from 2004 in a 1920/30's office, especially if you are trying to cover up time travelling
- There's never enough time
- Walker doesn't know how to die, but will learn tonight
- Senate committees find time travel concepts laughable, despite the inventor helping with space travel

Re: #5 The house still exists in the future because old and young McComb touched each other and disappeared in 1994. Future McComb went back to kill Walker and his wife and blow up the house. Everything from 1994 on changed because of young/old McComb's disappearance that night. Young McComb never got older, never became corrupt and powerful, and was never able to time travel. So, everything he did in the original timeline was undone and, in the words of Agent Walker, "Set right."

Even if it just blows out windows and starts fires leaving the structure itself standing never throw the bomb in the backyard, instead run down the stairs in a dramatic fashion while carrying your dying pregnant wifethen again throwing the bomb out back, covering her body and gently carrying her out afterward would just be way to easy.
When traveling in the past to make yourself rich, secure fundsetc. Just don't get greedy and no one can track all your movements even if they run an entire governmental department in the future to do so. -

- In the future when all cars drive themselves, they'll still need headlights.
- When you have time traveling abilities and need to kill someone, travel back just ten years when they have bad-ass martial arts abilities; it would be too easy to pick them off with a sniper riffle when they're in grade-school.
- Uzis don't kill horses.
- A person traveling in time will only retain the memories from the past they originated from. When they return, they will magically re-consolidate with the potentially altered non-time-traveling version of themselves, inconveniently overwriting the memories created as a difference between the two histories, thus ending up as some poor amnesiac who hasn't a clue what has been going on for the past ten years. Don't worry, it's in the TEC Technical Manuals.

I just assumed the gold was stamped with a confederate logo and based on the amount was tracked to that shipment in the past.
Or did they say it was dated and I'm just forgetful? Either way nice mullet drop, can't believe I forgot that one.
