Line 7:
** The scene where she checks into a hotel under a false name wearing a jacket she stole. Once she's in the room she goes into the bathroom and removes her false teeth and colored contact lenses, demonstrating how she is [[Crazy Prepared]]. At first you watch and you're like "Wow she's a master of disguise! I didn't even notice the (now obvious) fake facial features!!" but then you realise that the reason you didn't notice her disguise is because she looked ''exactly the same''' and was completely recognisable.
*** But it becomes [[Fridge Brilliance]] when you realize that she wasn't wearing those things to disguise herself from her pursuers... {{spoiler|she was wearing them as part of her cover, in order to resemble the ''real'' Evelyn Salt, the American girl she replaced as a child}}.
* [[Genius Bonus]]: As you may have noticed, [[Captain Obvious|the title is in all-caps]] on the disc case, so it looks suspiciously like [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Arms_Limitation_Talks:Strategic Arms Limitation Talks|SALT.]]
** Strategic Arms Limitation? Well, there are plenty of weapons floating around in this movie. And it involves [[Captain Obvious|both the US and Russia.]]
** Of course, a sequel would be named [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Arms_Limitation_Talks:Strategic Arms Limitation Talks|SALT II.]] Ring any bells?
* [[High Octane Nightmare Fuel]]: In the directors cut {{spoiler|instead of seeing her husband shot Salt is forced to watch him slowly drown as he is heavily chained and water is slowly pumped in to cover him up. He also watches her as he is covered and slowly drowns.}}
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: When Orlov commands one of his men to {{spoiler|shoot Mike}}, and when {{spoiler|Ted plans to nuke major Islamic cities in order to incite rage within the Muslim community.}}
