Don't worry, half the country probably doesn't know how to operate an actual EAN, nor where the book is when it comes. I have a feeling the Wikipedia page on it is going to be very busy in the first ten minutes after a president decides to pull the trigger.
This is backed up by me skimming the relevant section of the binder when I was training on a station, saying out loud "I didn't know there was a Presidential Activation of EAS," and my boss at the time replying "there is?" rather surprised.
- makomk 10y agoThe nationwide tests of the EAS have apparently not gone terribly smoothly, and that was with advance notice and planning. So it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
