That, in turn, yields this traceroute:
15 unknown.level3.net (64.156.191.10) 62.733 ms 44.501 ms
45.521 ms
16 inet-sdsc-sdsc2--lax-isp-ge.cenic.net (137.164.24.206) 68.372

18 www.dhs.gov (192.31.21.68) 52.224 ms 49.003 ms 47.183 ms
So, unless dhs is tunelling inside of sdsc, this looks like
it might be somewhat suspect. :)
That may just be your "closest" akamai accelerator, or an akamai base
node
of some kind if they have no cache close to you.
Here's a shorter traceroute from a workstation at a university with
transit
through the frgp.net gigapop:
% host www.dhs.gov
www.dhs.gov is a nickname for www.dhs.gov.edgesuite.net
www.dhs.gov.edgesuite.net is a nickname for a830.g.akamai.net

a830.g.akamai.net has address 192.43.217.200
% traceroute -q 1 www.dhs.gov
traceroute: Warning: a830.g.akamai.net has multiple addresses; using

traceroute to a830.g.akamai.net (192.43.217.199), 30 hops max, 40

...

Of course, it's still suspect, just for other reasons. ;-)
