That's the main DARPA building. For driving directions,
see the DARPA web site:
http://www.darpa.mil/body/information/location.html
It's not very surprising that folks there wear DARPA badges.
Should we congratulate Hampton and Thompson on their "discovery"?
Or should we chip in and buy them each a new tinfoil hat?

I imagine parts of it are actually true. But then again, a
stopped watch gives the correct time twice a day.
More-reliable accounts of TIA are readily available. A
useful compendium is:

et cetera.
