 It's been talked about, but most of us are already irritated
 with audio mute for an alert that has no alert value to anyone,
 except the person issuing it.

 I've no desire to be woken at 3AM for an Amber alert
 that turns out to be a proper, legal visitation issued
 by someone who failed to read the divorce decree.

 It'll happen.
