I think people are missing the point on this one. They shouldn’t be wondering with whether it will work or not. After all, a national test of this magnitude has never been tested, even since the inception of the Emergency Broadcast System some 60 years ago. They shouldn’t be wondering how much value it will provide. In my opinion, those are the wrong thoughts. The first thought that crossed my mind was, ‘why’? |
Why are they testing this now? This seems silly to me in today’s day and age. And I’m not so sure the FCC and Department of Homeland Security intentions are being accurately portrayed.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t think there is any danger heading our way. That’s not what I’m getting at. I’m asking myself this question; why is the Federal Government for the first time ever going to shutdown all broadcasts to test a system that for all intents and purposes, is mostly obsolete?
