3. instead of telling the campers to take their lighter and burn the playbook he tells them run to the powerstation so of course they get caught.

1) The nuclear meltdown was the terrorists' method of ensuring the President went airborn in Air Force One, making him and the nuclear football much more vulnerable to attack than if they were in the White House.
2) The plane gets slightly damaged on purpose, so that it crashes w/o totally destroying the football. It goes down in an area w/o any sort of law enforcement near by (in the middle of the desert).
3) It's close to impossible to burn a book when it's intact...you must take the the pages out and burn them in small bunches. Go try setting your phonebook on fire with a lighter and see how long it takes to completely burn. The campers didn't have time, they had to get out of there quickly.
