Suggested correction: Maybe, it depends on the sensor technology. Infrared detectors, no. The fish are about the same temperature as the water. Ultrasonic detectors, no. The sound doesn't penetrate the tank. Radar detectors, no. Radar does not penetrate the water. Laser detectors, no. The beams would reflect primarily off the tank. Image analysis, maybe. The algorithm comparing the image over time might pick up the fish motion, but the discrimination would have been adjusted already to eliminate false alarms.

Continuity mistake: When Whistler is driving the van, he hits the two cars and knocks out the driver's side headlight, yet right after this and through the rest of the film, the headlight works properly. (01:51:25)
