When Joel is talking to the policeman, the cop says that he can't file a missing person report for another 24 hours, quoting 'the rules'. There is no rule that stipulates a minimum time before a missing person report can be filed; it depends on the circumstances: a missing one year old would be treated differently from a missing 30 year old, for example.
When Maggie and Jane Harris are talking about female fighter pilots, Jane, herself a former military aerial tanker pilot, says that "women shouldn't be allowed to have their finger on the trigger of a Tomahawk." Tomahawks are large cruise missiles that are deployed from submarines and surface warfare ships, not aircraft. While the missile can be launched from the air, the BGM-109G Gryphon nuclear and AGM-129A missiles were at one time carried by large U.S. Air Force bombers, Tomahawks were never carried on fighters. A military pilot would not confuse a large Tomahawk missile with a Sidewinder or Sparrow missile, the types of which are carried on fighters.
