Exactly! That's why I find 24 (and Criminal Minds) very disturbing. Too real...I think the producers of 24 talked about that in regards to the new season and the plot about drones.
Have you noticed how Criminal Minds seem to also have changed with the more recent couple of seasons; just felt IMO that in the past the criminals and their backgrounds-profiling-behaviour was more complex.
Comes back to Barry2013 last post IMO with this series as well.
PS.
Big Criminal Minds fan myself, well sadly less so with the most recent season of it
