Speaking of Mystique...

Professor X has a super long and super complicated relationship with Mystique; he knows her rather intimately, and is well aware of what her abilities entail and the dangers that she poses as a result.

And yet, for reasons that aren't really covered in the movie, Professor X fails to warn anybody that Mystique can take on the appearance ofanyone at anytime. You'd think that, given how much history they have together, Professor X would be on edge at all times knowing that she's on the enemy team, and would - at the very minimum - make sure to check everyone's credentials at every possible moment. 'Cause that's damn scary.

Mostly, he just seems to overlookthe fact that she's out there.
