Flight of Young Adults Is Causing Alarm Upstate - New York Times

Okay, that's all well and good. But look towards the bottom of the article, to the right, where there's a box for "YOUR E-MAIL ALERTS". Can someone explain to me why "bioterrorism" is there? Is the mountain lion secretly an Al'Q operative? I'm confused.
