I’m always frustrated by the sequence after 47 destroys the control panel in Chongquing. I thought I could evacuate the building along with everyone else…
Firstly, how did all those workers get out so fast? (Having said that, you can sometimes catch one of those engineer-women running for an exit. 
)
Secondly, how come every single guard suddenly realises that the bald guard/engineer or analyst who is heading for an exit is an imposter who must be shot? It’s exciting, but rather frustrating.

Considering that 47 has already defected from the ICA at that point, it makes some sense that the guards are keeping an eye out on the most dangerous person in the world who just so happens to betray your agency, unless 47’s existence is kept as a secret to only higher members of the ICA which makes this entire paragraph useless (maybe they are told about him after he defected?).

I always assumed officially the guards would not know who he was. It’s like a signals collection site or a top secret Lockheed Martin hanger. All you see is a badge that is (let’s pretend RED) and you know that guy can go into the red rooms. Only others in the red room who work directly with this person would know what they do or who they are.
Fun side fact. There are no names on the Starbucks cups at Langley. Not even fake names.

47 did not defect from, nor did he betray, the Agency; they betrayed him. After 20 years of loyal service, making them more money than they ever dreamed of and saving them from liquidation twice, they took Edward’s contract on him and Olivia, accepting his word that 47 had lied about killing his target and was carrying out assassinations without clearance from them (which was true, to be fair), but never bothered to check with him to see if that was true, or to hear his side of it about why he did it. He and Diana going off script was only going to be temporary and as soon as Providence was gone they were going to be right back at work. Never mind everything he’d done for them, never mind that he and the other hitmen they use are independent contractors and not actual employees of the ICA like the people who worked in the data center are, and so are free to pursue any assassination they desire, whether they come from ICA or not. They just took the contract and sent a team after him. 47 didn’t even necessarily want to bring down ICA, they’d mostly been fair to him. It wasn’t personal, you could tell that he wasn’t shutting them down with any hard feelings in his heart. It was necessary and expedient to keep them from interfering with his goal of destroying Providence, and he couldn’t do that if ICA were going to keep working on Providence’s behalf.
I hate that IO went that route and made ICA do that, but 47 did not betray them; if he could have done it another way, he would have.

A lot of the guards’ gun holsters are completely empty like the consulate guard in Marrakesh

Diana and the ICA act like 47 disguising himself is some sort of ancient technique that was lost to the ages. You would think that an organisation that has been around since at least the Sixties(?) would have had an agent who thought about disguising himself at some point.

I think it’s more that 47 takes a person’s clothes and puts them on himself, rather than coming disguised already or finding one lying about. A risky proposition for a number of reasons. Diana specifically mentioned in the training level “You’ve put on his clothes. That’s a first.” So I think it had more to do with that.

Even then someone has probably taken someone’s clothes for disguise, I am pretty sure James Bond himself has nicked a guys clothes after knocking him out.

One thing I think is unrealistic is the enforcers Agent 47 has while wearing a suit. If he’s in disguise, I can understand him having enforcers because it would blow his cover. But if he’s in his suit, what are the civilians going to tell the guards/police? “I have a feeling that bald man is up to something. I just know it.”

Right, but to modern day hitmen, in the age where more people know or can look up more people and security systems exist and various differ t body sizes are accounted for, such a tactic is pretty risky. While that might have happened in old days of contract killing, before ICA, since that time it’s probably been left alone as an unrealistic method, until 47 started doing it successfully. But, as it is, despite his baldness and such, 47 is designed to blend in facially with normal people. There’s enough bald guys around that it’s not too suspicious, and even Parchezzi tried it, so the clones are more suited to taking clothing, donning it, and somehow assuming that person’s identity just by being designed to not stand out in a person’s memory besides the most obvious features; bald, albino, etc. what else can you tell us about him? Uh, I dunno, I can’t remember much about him, just that he was bald.

For some of them like Angus Pritchard, you could understand why he is an enforcer of 47’s suit (ICA), but in other cases:
Who would you be more scared of if you bumped into them in real life?

Strandberg, because I k or I’m not worth the amount of money 47 would need to be paid to be bothered to kill me.
I just noticed for the first time, from that picture, how much Strandberg looks like a young Mitch McConnell.

How old are you? BC Mitch has had that turkey neck thing and looked old since I started paying attention to politics which was like 20 years ago 
Mitch entered congress the year before I was born.
How about something more disturbing, then? He looks like a bastard lovechild of Mitch McConnell and Bill Gates.
