[EAS] Source of the "scary" text in Suffolk Co

[Botterell, Arthur@CalOES]

>>>  The hybrid CAP/EAS system has many nuances that are not self-evident to many users.

True that... and "nuances" is putting it politely.  The hybrid was a transitional expedient, not a permanent solution.  The SAME encoding is broken, fundamentally, and needs to be retired.  Not necessarily with another version of in-band "on the program" signaling, but hopefully with something appropriate to the digital era of broadcasting.  We certainly shouldn't exhaust our energy trying to preserve the Legacy Protocol in perpetuity.  

EAS needs a roadmap to its future... at least if we're going to continue encouraging state and local agencies to rely on it.
