Artistic License – Biology: The human eye cannot see well past wavelengths of 700 nanometers, so for eyeglasses to be exceptional for wavelengths 850+ nanometers long would be useless except at focusing invisible infrared light on the eyeball, which is decidedly not the purpose of corrective lenses.

Awesomeness by Analysis: Given Alex's mental prowess, it's pretty much a given that he spots things and makes deductions that nobody else would (at least not as fast).

comment
Hyper-Awareness: The CIA boss, Sam Luttrell, seems to be almost inhumanly aware of everything going on around him. He also has an excellent understanding of voice pitch and how it relates to the expression of human emotion. Faber, the FBI lie detector expert, is capable of visually recognizing signs of truth, noticing things most people would process only subconsciously, such as pupil dilation and the rate of a person's pulse under their jaw.

Everything Is Online: The O'Connors can hack into just about any database or CCTV network as the plot demands. Occasionally inverted; for example in "Liars and Thieves", Tolliver reveals that his boss writes down money transactions by hand into a ledger.
