They are just doing dry runs to test the systems.

“Learning From Hawaii’s False Missile Attack Fiasco

by Austin Bay
January 16, 2018
The false missile attack alert that the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency issued at 8:05 a.m. on January 13 provides American civil defense agencies and military planners with numerous points to ponder.

Three deserve immediate attention.

I don’t believe this for a second. If I got an emergency alert about missiles I would turn on the freaking NEWS!!!

I would modify your observation by remarking that I would be accessing the news while headed for the basement, but, yeah.

Terry: brilliant! Thanks for sharing.

Neo: anyone versed in security could have designed the software better, in any number of ways.

Unless you have built many shelters and have conducted drills, what can you expect from a civilian population? Chaos and mass confusion, not to mention the fear.

We got through many, many years of the Cold War without much in the way of warning systems or even plans for dealing with a nuclear bomb attack. Oh yeah, we had the pathetic duck and cover drills back in the early days of the Cold War. Pathetic because, if you survive the blast and heat, you probably won’t survive the radiation. When you know much about the destructive force of an H-bomb, you realize there is no real shelter from the effects except distance, lots of distance.

Unless there is a good plan in place and many lives can be saved, maybe it’s best not to send out a warning that is really nothing more than an early notice of imminent death. Or am I too much of a fatalist?

Neo: anyone versed in security could have designed the software better, in any number of ways. (For example, before choosing something with far-reaching consequences, a password might be needed.)

I certainly expect that the relevant software will be rewritten now, to insert extra safeguards. (Although the now-infamous photo, with the password on a sticky note, does not inspire confidence in the relevant personnel!)
