I'm kinda on the fence about the leaps in logic in Dexter. Sometimes I just chalk it up to being a necessary part of watching a show that clearly could not take place in the "real" world.
However, as others have mentioned, sometimes it just seems like sloppy writing. I definitely rolled my eyes a bit at the whole airport scene. I've also found that Dexter himself has been making some leaps in logic recently. He used to get all bent out of shape about possibly killing the wrong person and how he had to make absolutely sure that the person he's killing is guilty but it seems more and more that the evidence he's using is flimsy at best.
The thing that makes me overlook those minor, and sometimes glarring, leaps in logic is the fact that the show is usually so entralling that I just don't care.
