Seemingly unbiquitous incidents at airports here and the around the world are treated by most people as single, isolated events. However, the presence of global criminal and terrorist networks should compel us to see if there are any inter-related factors.

An example: The evacuation of Huntington (West Virgina) Airport on August 17 was ordered after the explosive detection the contents of a Pakistani woman's bottles( prohibited items) that she had in her carry-on bag. Might this event be related to the arrest in nearby Marrieta, Ohio, a week earlier, of young two Arab-Americans who had in their possession airport documents and passenger lists? Each of the individuals had strong ties to Dearborn, Michigan.

This all may be a mere coincidence. But then again...
