If I was planning to do a bank robbery or murder, I would not base my plans of a TV show, while they may show some actual police processes they are probably full of make believe too. While I am not familiar with actual crime investigations processes I can tell there are lot of flaws things I know about.

One example seems to be how they almost always seem to send in two people to apprehend a known armed criminal, when I would think a swat team would usually sent in. I know this is to build drama, but I doubt it is realistic.

Or the hacker that can seem to hack anything, my favorite scene is from NCIS when they are defending against a hacker. The other guy starts typing on the same keyboard in order to help. http://www.snotr.com/video/809... Besides that if you where hacking someones computer why would make windows flash up on someones screen, and if you for some reason wanted and could do that, why would you even let them type. This is to build suspense (in this case maybe comedy) not to to accurately portray reality.

The recruiting posters are just to get you in the door.

For those who haven't seen it yet, here is a movie about how the LHC works; from single Hydrogen atoms to extremely powerful particle proton beams:

What rolls down stairs
alone or in pairs,
and over your neighbor's dog?
What's great for a snack,
And fits on your back?
It's log, log, log

It's log, it's log,
It's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's log, it's log, it's better than bad, it's good."

Everyone wants a log
You're gonna love it, log
Come on and get your log
Everyone needs a log
log log log

A car isn't a bad choice of tool for this - they make a pretty good faraday cage.

There is a much better video of what you can do with one of these suits Here
