What were your initial thoughts about what the white substance was?

I was thinking about anthrax because I knew that it was a white substance. After 911 we had some nuts sending anthrax through the mail and a few people died when they opened the letters. Crazy people out there!

Anthrax seemed like the obvious answer at the time.

I thought about Anthrax right away. We had an Anthrax scare in the U.S. several years ago. The postal service was warning people to be careful opening their mail because idiots were sending white power through the mail...most of it was just "white powder" but there was some cases of Anthrax contaminated mail.

I wasn’t really sure what it was but anthrax didn’t enter my head.

I'd thought of anthrax, but I wasn't sure it fitted with the MO.

I wasn't sure. We'd already had the anthrax scare in the opening scene with Gray so I didn't think it was that but didn't know what else it might be
