        Which is one of the reasons live codes
        should not be used for tests. There are
        only 28,927 agencies left around the country
        that have yet to issue a false alarm.

        As the newspaper article stated, this is
        eroding the public's confidence in the
        entire emergency alert system - not 
        necessarily EAS, but everyone gets
        a black eye, while politicians and
        bureaucrats say they will ensure
        "it doesn't happen again."

        At least there is some good news,
        these bureaucrats are not setting off
        guns with the same carelessness.
