I've watched and enjoyed all of the "Bourne" movies and I've always
laughed long and loud at the ridiculousness of the intelligence analysis
and intercepts that that causes such immediate attacks on Bourne.

The Bourne Legacy is possibly the most ridiculous one. The baddies
state that Bourne has a 17 hour head start on them yet they have to move
their headquarters, suddenly acquire a fully equipped new headquarters,
staff it with at least a 100 staff, brief thoem on what needs doing, get
a dog team out to track Bourne's scent so they know the direction he
went, then, once known, call in drone footage to check parking and car
movements, acquire every piece of footage from CCTV and get airline
flight details of thousands of flights. Analyse all of the footage adn
passenger lists (months worth of work!!!) and then arrange to send in an
assassin located in another Asian country to hunt down and kill Bourne.
Bloody ridiculous.

I know that good intelligence takes time but it'd make piss poor Bourne
action movies for the boofheads who enjoy those sorts of insulting brain
rotting action flicks.

Anyhoo, THIS is good intelligence work:
