Does this event added to the attempt to purchase a cropduster plane in New England tell us anything about their intended plans?

WorldNetDaily.com: "'MIDEAST' MEN WHO SOUGHT PLANE IN CUSTODY" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The two unidentified Brazilian nationals were taken into custody about 7 p.m. yesterday, the Boston Herald reported. Massachusetts state police Sgt. David Paine confirmed that the men are being held in connection with an unsolicited offer last week to buy a vintage banner-hauling Piper Pawnee plane. "At this time, it is not believed there is any link to terrorism involved," he said. The Herald said state police are investigating the matter along with the INS, the Joint Terrorism Task Force and police from the Boston-area cities of Beverly, Hudson and Marlboro. Authorities insisted that the airplane is not a "crop-duster" that could be used for chemical warfare, the Herald said.") (February 14, 2003)
