Trivia
The pilot episode Yankee White (2003) reused the Air Force One sets from Air Force One (1997). This is alluded to in the episode as an in-joke, when Agent Gibbs walks around the set pointing out to Agent Todd that the layout of Air Force One is exactly the same as in the movie of the same name.

Goofs
Secret Service agent Caitlin Todd is portrayed as being unfamiliar with working a crime scene. However, only Secret Service agents with several years of experience in the field as law enforcement officers are employed in protective details, especially (as Agent Todd is) the most important and prestigious one, of the President. While she might be a little rusty, depending upon how long she had worked in protective details, in real life an agent in her position would know what to do without lessons from Gibbs or DiNozzo.

Quotes
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: [answering his cell phone] Hello?
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: We're in the clear. You can get out of the body bag.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: I never thought I'd say this, but I'm not sure I want to.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Why? You gotta search Commander Trapp's apartment tonight.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: Oh, Gibbs, come on. It's one a.m.
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: Agent Axelrod is trailing you to pick up the body bag when the FBI tosses it.
Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo: That's funny, Gibbs. Real funny. Especially since...
[sounds of Tony's groans of pain]
Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs: [closing his phone] I guess they found him.

Best episode out of ten seasons

I have watched every episode of every season including the tenth. Kate is definitely my favourite character but I think Bellisaro was extremely ingenious in introducing how the team operates. This is by far the most hilarious NCIS episode I have ever seen and I love it. I just wish Sasha Alexander stayed on for a little while longer. This episode has Ducky acting as boss and when the FBI tries to take over the crime scene (air force one) Tony closes the door on them. There is a secret service agent on board and she is ordered to give the FBI the body when they land, so Gibbs tricks them all and puts TONY in the body bag. That is the most hilarious thing I have ever seen. If you haven't seen it, you MUST, it's the best then watch season 1 and 2.
