The only issue that I disagree with is that Widmore only realized the
potential of the island after attaining the Black Rock Journal/Log. I
think he was just keeping it out of the hands of anyone else with an
interest in the island when he bought it at the auction.Widmore seems
to be connected to the island.They have history.
WIDMORE: That island's mine, Benjamin. It always was. It will be again.
BEN: (Turning) But you'll never find it.
WIDMORE: Then I suppose the hunt is on for both of us.
BEN: I suppose it is. Sleep tight, Charles.

HOpe and AC, perhaps the island wants only leaders that are NOT from the island. The only two we've seen so far are Ben and Locke, neither of which were born on the island.

If, as I have heard suggested, Widmore was once a leader there then he could be a third leader not from the island (I assume)

WTF, I see your point but remember that Widmore bought the journal many years before the time of the O6 rescue. He has always known about the island and has been involved with it in ways we don not yet know about but maybe he did not become aware of it's FULL potential until he got the journal.

By the way, aluminum wouldn't matter...it is non-magnetic but can still conduct electrical and electromagnetic energy
