I got a different version of this yesterday. I checked snopes and it had the yellow light and they were not able to confirm or discount. Today it has a red light and now they are saying it is false.http://www.snopes2.com/rumors/mallrisk.htm

Thanks for the heads up- one of these days, I know I am going to dismiss something, only to find out it was true! :eek: :D

I beg to differ ... alot of it is true. Do you read virus warnings? They are sent regularly .. and if you read them...

Yeah it is a hoax, but I am staying on the safe side on halloween and buying five pounds o' candy. Not to be paranoid, but if some disease is realeased that can be transmitted through the air....

Yeah..if terrorists release some deadly airborne toxin...Five pounds of Candy will quickly save your life! You'll be realllllly grateful you have all those kit-kat bars, and dum-dum pops.

Ever since the attacks I've heard 'the terrorists are going to ATTACK' again and again on various dates... like the rest of the week of the 11th of Sept, then on the 25th of Sept, then on Oct 2nd, now Oct 31st.... *shrugs*

At the rate the rumors are going, they are bound to get one date right. :D

(well, I hope and pray not, but I am not expecting that)
