How on earth do you it? Let me guess. Any man in his 20s wearing a beard and a robe?

Well since you asked politely, the group I was traveling with specializes in security in that and other regions. It's very very common knowledge that Daesh uses the Istanbul airport as a defacto base of operations. Their dress is not unique but is somewhat uniform and recognizable; no they do not wear robes. Their actions are obvious to everyone including actual uniformed police that let them operate under certain understandings. The local guides who dropped us off pointed out Daesh entering and leaving the airport and told us exactly what to do and not to do....ie don't try to buy souvenirs from anyone. And quite frankly, after several hours of the same sh't you'd have to be a total moron to not understand exactly what's going on.
