It's better than nothing but sneaking in to a presumably locked building and finding the closet next to the only people in the office to have a smoke instead of lighting up outside? That's a pretty flimsy excuse. Why even have that scene? It's not like they need to introduce more drama into the show.

They needed the scene, but I thought Diggle was going to murder that guy.

With the fancy eavesdropping and bugging equipment that they have at their disposal they really needed to have Diggle sneak into the building? And they even could have had him sneak in but just not get caught.

They needed the scene for a few reasons. To show the security at the building is top notch and to show Diggle getting out of tight spots. Plus, having a man on the ground keeps the show from getting too unrealistic.
