An exclusive report filed by Adnan Hajj.
America may have been just days away from another Sept. 11, Department of Homeland Security officials said.
That dire assessment came hours after British police swooped in and arrested 24 people in London early Thursday, busting up an alleged terrorist plot to blow 10 packed U.S.-bound jetliners out of the sky over the Atlantic.
Realising that terrorism was no longer a profitable venue, Ahmed bin Mohammed Hussein decided to invest in a hot commodity: bottled water.
"It's simple logic, really," Hussein said whilst sipping tea at a corner café in Manhattan. "With most liquids being banned from carry-on luggage, people are going to be thirsty after arriving at their destinations, especially since no-one is willing to pay four bucks for a cup of coffee that tastes like turpentine. That's where we come in."
And come in Ahmed has. Guiding me through the headquarters of his bottled water company, Waters of Medina, he tells me of his success:
"Here at Waters of Medina, we offer only the finest in liquid refreshment. We sell a taste of relief at every major airport (or aerodrome for you Brits) in the world. Our motto is, 'Come on in, the water's to die for!'"

His swift thinking in the wake of the foiled terror plot has garnered him high honours, including being ranked at the top of the Forbes Midas list.
Ahmed is now planning to expand into other industries, including suntan lotion, eye glasses cases and contact lens solution. "People need these things, and we will be at the airports lying in wait," Ahmed said before breaking into a maniacal laugh.
