Good points Randy - 

I've wondered if and when FEMA or the FCC will force EAS alerting in more
places.  A Walmart store of shoppers will have more public ears over its
paging system than a small town AM radio station.  Does the government
(FEMA, FCC, Civil Defense) care about them?

Cannot the same thing be said for Radio and TV translators and satellators?
Granted they may receive the National Level messages (NPT and EAN) but what
about State, Local and Weather messages - They are excluded also.
Could it be said that the Feds don't care about the citizens whose sole
connection for public warnings are these systems?
