| Maybe it's the left one, but he knows that, so he overcompensates back in the other direction. |

Ooold thread, but the title seems the most appropriate for what I want to say. I saw a correction and now I'm posting it. Bada-bing. It's not wrong or bad or particularly awesome, so it goes here.
Spoiler tagged because there's a plot-related secret involved.

I thought about this shortly after we found out about Clyde's past. I agree with you. But still... wouldn't a guy who builds extremely clever and unique devices of death for a living take measures to protect his family from possible repurcussions or even the random events that may befall a homeowner slash family man? You can see their home security device control panel on the wall next to the door, so obviously keeping his home and family safe has crossed his mind. This guy doesn't even take the kinds of precautions non-government assassins take? Really?

Click here to see the hidden message (It might contain spoilers) I have an alarm system too and I'm no government spy or anything. I mean, come on! Is so far down the line that he probably doesn't expect anyone to know who he is or what he does. His alarm system likely seemed enough to him as it does for me...
Oh, and it *was* awesome.

Click here to see the hidden message (It might contain spoilers) ...still. My parents have a peephole. You can buy security camera setups for forty bucks at Wal-Mart. This guy can make a handgun shoot blowfish venom out the handle, but he can't look out the window before he opens the door? It's not a movie mistake, but it's a still a WTF to me.

I used to design burglar and fire alarms for homes (and businesses) for First Alert, so I know a thing or two about personal safety. I had a very comprehensive alarm in my home...but no peephole. FWIW
