I'm going searching for some posts by a lady who makes a very convincing argument against moving this lab to the heartland. I think it needs to stay on Plum Island.

I would like to think the technologies we have in place today are much better as far as containing the virus than what we had when the facility on Plum Island was built. Even so, I still think it is somewhat silly to move a potentially disastorous thing like FMD right to the heartland where most of the livestock are.
Isn't the CDClab in Atlanta where they house some of the most dangerous organisms known to man?

Well, yes. But in GA, how would you ever determine something had got loose.
