While Atta knew he would die in the crash, he may have worried that he could be stricken by the anthrax before he was able to achieve his "objective", hence showing up at the pharmacy with "red hands" - looking for Cipro? Also regarding the previous poster who questioned the significance of the "red hands" comment, I think it refers to direct physical contact with anthrax, rather than the inhaled type, which results in a nasty rash - apparently that is what the NBC employee is dealing with.

Suspected terrorist visited Maryland medical clinic
Associated Press

GREENBELT, September 22 - The hijacker suspected of piloting American Airlines Flight 11 into the World Trade Center was once treated at a Greenbelt medical center, according to the physician who saw him. The FBI has seized the medical records of Mohamed Atta from Greenbelt Family Practice, nurse practitioner Nancy English told The Prince George's Journal Friday. English would not say when Atta was treated or for what condition, but said his name appeared on medical records. He also gave a Laurel address, according to David Granite, a doctor at the practice. English said she recognized Atta's name from the list of 19 suspected hijackers. "These are people who hate us and want to wipe us off the face of the Earth and he came to us for help," she said.
