Stay on topic now please.

Jeezus, why are so many people against this?

If it saves one life, it's a good thing.

Fearmongering
Control of people
Distracting from the big picture

Apparently this has been going on in other countries for years and once again we are so behind.
I for one will leave it on because I'm not led by conspiracy theorists.

Spare a thought for those poor prison inmates keistering mobile phones.

 

[adidan]

I got used to it living in NZ but it was useful there. So long as it's used correctly I don't see the issue.

Then again I don't always take my phone with me so....

@SexyGreyFox is hyperventilating right now

Just imagine. You're just going along, minding your own business at work or strolling around the town centre when all of a sudden you hear "Allahu Ackbar" followed by multiple volleys of automatic gunfire. "****", you say to yourself, "Best get to cover somewhere." A few moments later you're hunkered down in a safe, well hidden spot and can hear the gunfire getting closer. You put your phone into silent and hold your breath. Thankfully you excel at hide and seek and the gunmen pass you by. You let out a huge sigh of relief....

"AWOOGA AWOOGA! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST. REPORTED TERRORIST ACTIVITY IN TOWN CENTRE, PLEASE SEEK COVER AND AWAIT THE AUTHORITIOES"

****!

You just know it will be filled with those sorts of 'unintended' consequences, best to leave it off.

In my opinion it be Mainly weather related in this country and thats not needed.

Well it's highly unlikely to trigger for anyone considering the relative safety in this country, but those moments when it actually matters the risk is too great that the government's stupidity gets someone a speedrun to the grave.

Let's come back in 12 months and tell our tales.

Let's HOPE to come back in twelve months, at my age and in these uncertain times, every day's a bonus
