Anyone have a compilation of lax movie security guard clips?

IE: The guy is watching something funny on TV while on his security monitors there are intruders entering...etc etc
It looks like the Surveillance Station Slacker TV Trope has a couple of examples of this.

I can't imagine someone's already made a compilation of these, so I'll suggest the guard in Die Hard watching a Notre Dame-USC game (which apparently shouldn't take place on Christmas Eve).

Response by poster: Thanks everyone. I guess ideally I was thinking of a pre-made compilation, but the other answers are great, too.

The airport security guards watching the rocker strip on TV while the little kid runs past them in Love Actually.

Toys has a truly idiotic version of this where they produce an entire music video to distract the guards.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but here's some artwork from a Vampire: the Eternal Struggle CCG card that illustrates this (actually the guard has been put to sleep by the magical powers of the 3-eyed vampire, but it's along those lines): Gift of Sleep
Bonus: There's an Easter Egg contributed by me in this art :)

Here is a security guard almost rueing the day he was lax in his duties, but instead choosing to defend himself.

Without wanting to give away spoilers, a recent fantasy movie involving a barefoot and short hero had such a scene...

If it's the latter, Hackers has this.
