That night, she and her husband were finally in their own bed after hours at a secure location when a panting Secret Service agent burst into the room, saying there was an unidentified plane in the airspace.

Bahamas Realty, one of that country's largest island brokers, reports a 25% jump this autumn in calls about its properties. "I get the sense," says George Damianos of Damianos Realty, another major Bahamas island agent, "that prospective buyers have decided there's no chance of being blown up on their own island in the Exumas," one of the Bahamas' prettiest island groups...
