[E.G.C.]

As I stated before, I have been doing some research on the EAS and if you like to find out more about it, all you have to do is go to http://www.fcc.gov. Click on topical search, then click on E. Scroll down to where it says Emergency Alert System, click those words and it will ge you the their EAS web site. As I stated eariler, Fox News did a story on it a couple of weeks ago. It's a great program when it's used for life-threatening situations

Why wasn't it used when the planes were headed towards WTC?

The Pentagon?

Flight 93?

Just pointing out that the Government is not likely able to protect us in the current war. It's up to us.

BTTT in light of ongoing events in Iraq and the possibility albeit slight the the E.A.S. might end up being activated for a National Emergency.
