" Emergency alerts for everything from tornadoes to missing children and terror warnings will get out to the public through an expanded weather radio network, the government announced Thursday...
... The addition of the Homeland Security Department to the system will allow terror alerts and warnings to be distributed automatically through the same way.
"This agreement is an example of interagency cooperation that ... can be applied to protect the homeland from both man-made and natural disasters," said Frank Libutti, undersecretary for information analysis and infrastructure protection at Homeland Security."
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's see, this includes Amber alerts, which already have been abused in custody disputes...add DHS alerts, and what next? Smog? Traffic? Viagra ads?
So the alerts could go off several times a day in some areas
Over familiarity from overuse hasn't done anything to diminish the effectiveness of car alarms has it?
I feel safer already.
