Irrational fear after 9/11

Irrational fear after 9/11?
I need some stories about things that were blown completely out of proportion due to the irrational fears following 9/11. They should be stories that I can find in the news. I already have the story about the mosque for example. Also, I found this- "The passengers boarding the Virgin Atlantic Airways flight from London to Los Angeles were wary, but everyone began to relax after takeoff. In midflight, over Canada, an attendant noticed a suspicious object behind a seat. Immediately, the cabin erupted in panic. The plane made an emergency landing in Edmonton, Canada, the passengers were evacuated, and a bomb squad was dispatched. The suspicious item? A cellphone." and this- "A man on a flight to San Jose, California, opens an envelope and a powdery substance spills out. A fellow passenger alerts the flight attendant, reporting that he had dispersed the powder into the ventilation system. Once the plane lands, it is held on the tarmac for three hours and the FBI is called to investigate. The "powdery substance" was confetti enclosed in a greeting card." but I can't find the actual news stories that they are tied to. Any help would be greatly appreciated! :) Thanks so much!
