Are Compton-thin AGNs Globally Compton Thin?
  We select eight nearby AGNs which, based on previous work, appear to be
Compton-thin in the line of sight. We model with MYTORUS their broadband X-ray
spectra from 20 individual observations with $Suzaku$, accounting
self-consistently for Fe K$\alpha$ line emission, as well as direct and
scattered continuum from matter with finite column density and solar Fe
abundance. Our model configuration allows us to measure the global, out of the
line of sight, equivalent hydrogen column density separately from that in the
line of sight. For 5 out of 20 observations (in 3 AGNs) we find that the global
column density is in fact $\gtrsim 1.5 \times 10^{24}$cm$^{-2}$, consistent
with the distant scattering matter being Compton-thick. For a fourth AGN, 2 out
of 5 observations are also consistent with being Compton-thick, although with
large errors. Some of these AGNs have been reported to host relativistically
broadened Fe K$\alpha$ emission. Based on our modeling, the Fe K$\alpha$
emission line is not resolved in all but two $Suzaku$ observations, and the
data can be fitted well with models that only include a narrow Fe K$\alpha$
emission line.
