The attention the Anthrax cases have received has many people on edge.
A suspicious pink powder collected from the steps of a University of Virginia Madison Hall on Saturday turned out to be just chalk dust.
One of the building's employees noticed the powder Friday afternoon.
Two U-V-A security guards, who were exposed to it, were treated at a hospital over the weekend.
Meanwhile, ANOTHER suspicious powder found Saturday on a copier in an office supplies store in Albemarle County was sent off to be analyzed today.
And in Richmond, a suspicious package prompted the evacuation of the Amtrak station for about three hours yesterday.
Police say a green duffel bag found inside the terminal around five o'clock yesterday afternoon triggered the alert.
Authorities X-rayed the bag -- and saw something suspicious.
But the bomb squad later determined the object was nothing more than a re-wired electric razor.
By eight o'clock, police cleared the station to reopen for business.
