Spoiler warning. Stop reading now if you haven't seen it.

I had a big problem with this movie, plot-wise, while I was watching it. Once the movie was over, I couldn't remember what it was that had bugged me until I got back on Usenet. While trying to find out what exactly the drug Clarity does to people, I found this post in rec.arts.movies.current-films that reminded me of the hole:

"8. Once Anderton became a fugitive on the run, shouldn't they have removed access for his eyeballs (so he can't use it to open doors)?
That would seem to be a logical step. They really should have done this once Anderton was locked away (so his ex-wife couldn't use it to open doors)."

Unless Lamar Burgess had left him his access codes to further the conspiracy against him, turning off all his eyeball access as soon as the next officer to see his face in a precrime recording should have been the first step in any logical security procedure. By the time he was imprisoned it was ludicrous that he would have any permissions within the Department of Precrime.
