It might be hysterical, but for the documented cases of middle eastern men attempting to buy thousands of dollars of candy with cash and fake Costco IDs. See post #9.

We know the other shoe is going to drop with these terrorists. We know Sadaam has anthrax and is probably involved with the anthrax letters.

We also know that Sadaam Hussein has smallpox, in vast quantities.

Children have the least advanced immune systems, and kids infected by candy would go back to shool for two weeks before showing symptoms of smallpox... thereby infecting many in the school. Further, NONE of these kids would even have the advantage of the old pre-1972 vaccine in their systems.

Halloween candy would be an ideal way to spread smallpox, should that be the next move of the terrorists.

Another idea would be to have bios on those candies and give them out in holiday gifts...horrors!

Agree that schools are one of the fastest methods of spreading bios. That Russian bio scientist who defected a few years ago, said that a combination of anthrax and smallpox would be about the worst of them all.

"Middle Eastern" men and "fake Costco IDs". With the number of illegal aliens in this country, all of them are bound to have fake IDs. As for buying large amounts of candy, Cosco says it is not unusual. Of course, hysteria would not allow such information to influence one's thinking.

I don't think this is true.

Our military is mostly made up of young people born after 1972.
