Folks are getting out ahead of their skis with the terrorism talk.
Right now we have a missing aircraft and [edited still no debris sightings]
Being familiar with that part of the world there are a myriad of reasons you might want to fly to China on a fake passport. I have not seen it been established that 5 is a particularly odd number; after all the folks who are the authorities on this subject apparently don't do a very good job.
If I can engage in some broader speculation myself this route does not make a lot of sense to me as a prime terrorist target. If I were a Chinese Muslim extremist isn't a domestic flight easier? And then I remind myself the only indication it might be terrorism is that there are 5 fake passports and again I fail to see the damning evidence in that.
For what it's worth a U.S. customs agent recently told me smugglers tend to travel in packs.
