I was in middle school during 9-11-2001, and around that time there was an anthrax mailing attack too.
I was late to class one time and my late pass had a bunch of chalk dust on it, the teacher i handed it to asked what the powder was on it... Being a smart ass i said something along the lines of "it might be anthrax, better be careful"...they took it as a threat i guess because the next day i was suspended.
We moved and i was in a new city and state the next year. One day at my new school i made pretty much the same exact "joke" and it resulted in another suspension.
