September 11, 2001 attack opportunists - September 11, 2001 attack opportunists There were isolated cases of commercial opportunism following the September 11, 2001 attacks and subsequent 2001 anthrax attack. Perhaps the most widespread form was gasoline price rises that occurred across the United States.
