This is just plain foolish.
Why the heck don't authorities do something like an Amber Alert -- children have been found that way.
Why not use the same technology to alert the public on roadways about this sort of thing?
And right away! Not a week or more after something's gone missing!
I have not seen one ad advising us to be prepared for a catastrophic event that could happen anywhere and anytime. The apparent indifference about "WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW" as opposed to "WHAT MUST BE TOLD" will be a very serious issue. Educating the public about the dangers ahead needs to be more than a topic in the President's speeches. Lives are on the line, preparation needs to commence. After a massive attack, it will be much too late.
