They were arrested (The 2 in Dundalk) in a private residence. I have no idea of the amount of foreign student visas issued every year but for this many from one country (one visa program) to get 'lost' in so many cities simultaneously seems unprecedented. I unfortunately don't share your optimism that this may have been unplanned.

dry run....would be my guess and guess what we did....
LOL....we have 9 out of 11.
now where are the last two??

whose private residence?

is the FBI going to do their job this time - or are they going to blow this off, like they did with those syrian "band members" on annie jacobsen's flight a couple years back.

Oh, yeah, couple of them went to "Manville NJ" (probbly by taxicab driven by an Egyptian). There's an "MN" for you; with three of 'em going through Manassas, VA airport (another "MN" deal), and one though Minneapolis Minnesota ("MN" all over the place), the fellow picked up in Chicago was at an airline counter actually trying to go to Bozeman, Montana (again, an obvious "MN"), etc.

The trick are the international three digit airport codes with "MN". They are:

MNT for MONTSERRAT AIRWAYS,

AMN Alma, MI [Gratiot Community Airport], USA.

MMN Stow, MA [Minute Man Air Field], USA.

MNA Melangguane, Indonesia.

MNB Moanda, Zaire.

MNC Nacala, Mozambique.

MND Medina, CA, USA.

MNE Mungeranie, South Australia, Australia.

MNF Mana, Fiji.

MNG Maningrida, Northern Territory, Australia.

MNH Minneriya, Sri Lanka.

MNI Montserrat (Plymouth) [Blackburne], Montserrat.

MNJ Mananjary, Madagascar.

MNK Maiana, Kiribati.

MNL Manila [Ninoy Aquino International Airport], Philippines.

MNM Menominee, MI [Menominee-Marinette Twin County Airport] USA.

. MNN Marion, OH [Marion Municipal Airport], USA.

MNO Manono, Zaire., MNP Maron, Papua New Guinea

MNQ Monto, Queensland, Australia,

MNR Mongu, Zambia, MNS Mansa, Zambia,

MNT Minto, AK [Minto Airport], USA,

MNU Maulmyine (Moulmein), Myanmar,

MNV Mountain Valley, Australia,

MNW MacDonald Downs, Australia,

MNX Manicore, AM, Brazil,

MNY Mono, Solomon Islands,

MNZ Manassas, VA [Manassas Regional Airport/Harry P. Davis Field], USA,

I strongly suspect an astute Homeland Security Analyst got hold of this early on and did the obvious ~ namely, assume they got lost and might be looking for places in MN ~ then, upon noticing that MNZ (Manassas) is a Washington DC suburb, got the FBI on the phone and 'splained things (lest these fellows turn out to be terrorists).
