I smell a hoax.Most of the terrorists were NOT from Afganistan. I may find an excuse not to go shopping on Halloween anyway, but I think someone is pulling a fast one.

I rec'd the same e-mail yesterday and disregarded it completely. These things always start with "I'm not usually the type of person to send this kind of thing out, but..." I personally think it's someone playing on the public emotion surrounding our situation. Who goes to the mall anyway?

The problem with these hoax's is that you have to worry about some freak who wants to be a star deciding to go ahead with it. IMHO this is problably what's going on with these Anthrax cases.
