Running Medicare is never a safe job.......

I work for a company that created software to run the new Medicare system created by the Medicare Bill of 2006. My company is being contracted by the government branch that runs Medicare to create a new system to handle the new problems associated with the massive amounts of changes created by the bill.

We just heard that the entire campus where they are located is being evacuated because of a bomb scare. Obviously, we certainly hope that nothing is amiss, but one thing came to my mind. If you were a bomber, why would you choose to bomb a place that runs the nation's medical insurance system? I'm guessing someone just wanted out of work early today REALLY badly.
