This could go on for a while, so ill say that an epic plot like LotR cant escape having few openings for Deus-ex machinas. Its advisable for the reader to use their imaginations to answer these "why didnt that happen?" questions.

Also, the Eye was distracted at the time, thats why Frodo could sneak in, but without the diversion, the eagles would be spotted instantaneously, and appropriate countermeasures taken. The winged beasts arent gotten later, they are just stabled at Mordor. Also, it is clear that the eagles arent working all along the way with the team. Maybe they got moved to tears by those heroic Hobbits and said to themselves "Screw our policies. Lets get those little buggers home"

Hahaha, okay.  I can see that.  They do that all the time though.  I wish there was a deleted scene of them saying that.
