We certainly don't have any high rises or anything else of interest in the tip of Maine - except maybe as an entry point?(Lot's of wide open sea, islands and coves, sparse population...easy entry?
Mohammad Attar was caught on tape leaving the Portland Airport - on his way to his infamous deed on 9-11...but where did he enter Maine?
further - I don't believe it was ever in print, but just before he and his companion left Portland, they had been further north in Maine - in Brunswick, where they had dinner in a local restaurant (and had beer, so against their belief - but part of their "fit in" training) and Brunswick is the home of BNAB (Naval Air Base)...very easy to case - and take photos just by standing on the highway. (Done it myself as son-in-law is P3 pilot)
So, I wonder if Maine isn't used primarily as an entry point - then they filter on down?
Very provocative points, maine-iac7. Nice to have you aboard the Threat Matrix.
Also- Maine's proximity to Canada
