-IIRC he had a fairly standard habit of going into town on certain days and could have been picked up any time.
-the Davidians were tipped off by a reporter the ATF was using to make sure the story was covered. They had also used the reporter as an informant.
-the search warrant was based, in part, on false allegations of meth manufacturing, which ATF knew was false
-several ATF agents believe they fired first either after an ATF ND or shots fired by the anti-dog team. After the siege all agents recanted to say that the Davidians fired first.
-Janet Reno specifically ordered that incendiary devices were not to be used because of the fire risk. This order was ignored.
-Key evidence mysteriously disappeared while the site was secured by FBI.
-The remnants of the compound were also bulldozed rapidly, destroying forensic evidence.

This list of issues goes on much longer.
The whole matter was an unnecessary Charlie Foxtrot
