"For most of the country, the process of selecting a replacement for the Plum Island Animal Disease Center has been off radar. The chances are that unless you are involved in homeland security activities, or are veterinarian or a cattle rancher, you wouldn’t know (or maybe even care) what Plum Island did, or why it needed to be replaced. Perhaps you remember that following September 11th there were concerns about the threat of crop-dusters being flown by terrorists to poison our food supply. Our food supply continues to be one of the “soft” targets of concern."
