The Fox 9 Investigators learned that of three men recruited from Minnesota to fight for either ISIS or al-Shabaab all once held jobs at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, and each hold security clearances that gave them access to parts of the airport a traveler will never see. When exactly these men were radicalized is unclear.
The good news: It doesn't appear the airport was ever their intended target.
The bad news: Experts fear that scenario may be just a matter of time.
Side-by-side with a future terrorist
It's like a small city that never really sleeps. It's in constant motion. It's our gateway to the world and back home again. Behind the scenes at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, of the people who keep everything moving -- more than 17,500 workers -- 11,000 have security clearance and wear what's called a SIDA Badge that provides access to the most secure and vulnerable areas of the airport. Everyone from pilots and mechanics, to those who feed, fuel and clean the planes can have them. One man, whose identity is being concealed, worked several years cleaning planes for minimum wage.
“They just would hire anyone who could do the job,” he said.
He never imagined he'd be working side-by-side with a future terrorist, Abdirahmaan Muhumed, the Minneapolis father of nine who died in Syria earlier this year fighting for ISIS.

And they all look alike.
Somali `airplane cleaners’ swarming into airliner cabins between flights.
Like a little present for “infidel” passengers couldn’t get accidentally on purpose left behind. Triggered by a cellphone.
We are under all-out invasion.
All they have to do is unionize and the threat will be neutralized.
Many have been invited to the WH and slept in the Lincoln bedroom.
Yep. I fly a lot. In any major airport there is not a white face to be seen. Anyone who comes to this nation would think only Somali Muslims and angry fat black women live here. It is not comforting to see who is responsible for airport security.
