        Today's news suggests now that it was a drop down 
        menu ... and the wrong selection was chosen.
        
        Another report said the reason for the delay to
        "cancel" was that the FEMA had to permit is.

        Too much speculation ... and too little info,
        "pending the complete investigation."

        I have been told AlertSense.

        Supposedly three times a day.   (!)

        Here is something the manufacturers can do for EM
        encoders:  Install at SPDT spring-loaded switch on the 
        encoder that must be held while clicking on a hot alert.

        Another - require two persons to enter their initials and
        code. This reduces investigation time to about 10 minutes
        as to what happened.

        Suggestions offered free to any/all manufacturers.
