My husband theorized just as you did that it was to change a solid to a liquid or act as a heat catalyst.
My theory is that they had subsequent ground-based actions planned, to add to the carnage, to target first responders, to make sure certain buildings were blown up.
I will find out if these were battery operated or not. I think so. The associate who was present when the manager searched the computer inventory commented that they could have gotten that quantity of hairdryer cheaper at wholesale and that they weren't for hotels, because those are permanently attached to the wall and so, are a different type not available retail as far as she knew.
Besides the previously published reports of large quantity phone buys, one of the pieces of information that alerted me was when they said they had to return to Michigan and implied they had some sort of deadline. I knew there was a large Muslim population in Dearborn and around Detroit.
Most people do not obsessively scour the news media or even know of FR and our various terror researchers. What will alert one of us will just be ignored by the majority as they have no context.

Detroit is an International airport, I do believe you can fly to London from Detroit, or to any on the other major cities in Europe, But most of the flights would route through New York. Detroit is probably the biggest major population of Islamics in the nation or close to it.
