[EAS] FCC BLU Alert Proposal

[Mike McCarthy]

Yup...same thoughts here. These added vanity message codes do nothing in
reality. If anyone at the FCC lurks on this list, take these ad-hoc
comments seriously. Another vanity or "color" EAS message type is not
necessary.  LEW is plenty broad in it's application to include "Blue
Alerting".

EAS is a call to action message for the masses to preserve or protected
their lives en-masse.  To paraphrase the now famous phase borrowed from
Mr. Spock, the needs of the one or few do not outweigh the needs of the
masses. The EBS first, and now EAS has been so deeply ingrained in the
public' mindset that something big is happening to warrant such singular
messages is a distraction and wolf cry.
