The National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center, located at Fort Detrick in Frederick, is one of seven facilities of its kind in the country. The $143 million center, which opened in 2010, operates under the Department of Homeland Security, employs more than 180 people and often assists the FBI and law enforcement agencies in investigating bioterrorism and biocrime.

Nope, because I didn't view it as sarcastically, nor was my response sarcastic. This sort of BS happens for the wrong reason all the time. Another symptom of the Pay to Play nature of our political system.
