[EAS] Getting rid of the daisy chain

[Clay Freinwald]

Good thoughts, Alex - 

 

Also, 99.9991% of the EAS activations in this country originate locally, not
nationally. Worry about the back yard before you worry about the whole city,
so to speak. If you can get one state to go with an idea, test it, see it
work, then you start mirroring it in other states, find the flaws, solve
them, and move on.

 

The fact is that several states already have addressed this issue and have
created state and local EAS systems that actually work.

 

On the flip-side....There are many that have done nothing ....Therein lies a
big chunk of the problem.   I have said, repeatedly, the country looks like
a checkerboard of functional and dysfunctional EAS systems.   There are a
multitude of places to attach blame.
