[EAS] Next Generation

[Ed Czarnecki]

Adding such a feature is not overly complex via IP - developing the
specification and coordinating with the parties will take a bit of time.
It's do-able.
Adding such a feature as part of the FSK schema would be more challenging -
subject to FCC rulemaking, and likely vendor squabbling.  But I think its
also do-able, and should be done.

Here's a radical proposal (from someone who's been going at it for 18 hours
for 20 days straight).  Consider the EAN code compromised, and simply
replace it with another restricted event code.  NEM = national emergency.
RBD = Really Bad Day.  Whatever.  Just retire the letters EAN if they now
present a "risk."  The downside would be obsolete all legacy
devices/converters, so I'm not necessarily pushing that.
