I wasn't aware that middle easterners were purchasing large quantities of juice, tomatoe paste, and fresh vegetables, and then returning them to the stores where they've been restocked.

Status: TRUE

Note that in one case, a large amount was *returned*, and put back on the shelf after being "checked". Did they check *every* piece of it? Impossible, IMO.

Is the antrax attack over yet? Can I take the plastic bag off my head yet? I'm turning blue.

I agree we should not become paralyzed with fear. However, it is true that just a small release of smallpox could infect millions.

Did you actually even read the article? It says that 2 Arab men bought $35,000 worth of candy, paid in cash, and had a fake Costco I.D. Doesn't that make any alarm bells ring in your brain? Or are you a member of the "move along, nothing to see here, go buy a new car" crowd?

I don't know of anyone in my neighborhood who spends $100 on candy, much less tens of thousands (and there are tons of kids around here, several Halloween parties, too). But to each his own, huh? Trick or treat!
