Greeneyes, I find your DC relocation idea interesting. I don’t want DC to move here, but if emergency it would make sense to move to the geographical center. (Kansas Juries, not DC juries too! Temporary emergency relocation then trials? :) Whats the matter with Kansas? (Dems spilling into Kansas From other states!)
Lawrence/Topeka area. Lots of room. Far away from the rest of the U.S. Perfect way to quarentine Congress.
Kansas City: It sits on major north/south and east/west railways and highways. It has access to major agricultural areas. It has one of the main IRS offices, A Federal Office Building, A Federal Reserve bank, the relocated Agriculture department. It has a Federal Records center located in nearby subterranean storage. Lots of Rail lines converge here, large ATT building.
Just gathering information, speculating wildly!
This would be an interesting target. Wonder how many Chinese spys work there, how many Saudis or Pakistani?

“The National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF) will be a state-of-the-art biocontainment laboratory for the study of diseases that threaten both America’s animal agricultural industry and public health. DHS S&T is building the facility to standards that fulfill the mission needs of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) which will own, manage and operate (PDF, 16 pgs., 165 KB) the NBAF once construction and commissioning activities are complete. The NBAF will strengthen our nation’s ability to conduct research, develop vaccines, diagnose emerging diseases, and train veterinarians. DHS S&T will leverage the facility as a national asset to fulfill homeland security mission needs.
The United States currently does not have a laboratory facility with maximum biocontainment (BSL-4) space to study high-consequence zoonotic diseases affecting large livestock. The NBAF will be the first laboratory facility in the U.S. to provide BSL-4 laboratories capable of housing cattle and other large livestock. The NBAF will also feature a vaccine development module. For more information about the facility and intended use of its state-of-the-art features, please visit the USDA NBAF Program website.”
Just putting out there!
I thought the idea would be to move different agencies around to different places so you don’t have the whole swamp effect in any given area.
Gheez. What a dumb idea. They are seriously going to study that crap in Kansas??? Right in the middle of the country?
They ought to put it on a deserted Island somewhere-far away from CONUS.
You know, I went to debate camp at the University located in Lawrence when I was in high school. They had some serious hills on that campus-I heard they were man made. It was a fun summer.
