TheCyborgNinja 01/15/18 7:00:00 PM #1:	When warnings say "this is just a test" nobody cares. So I'm curious if they planned it but are simply unable to admit that it was intentional (for obvious reasons). Apparently the military is engaging in new/additional "what if" exercises at the moment, regarding a war with North Korea. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:894123433] in Anyone cur...

Mead 01/15/18 7:12:11 PM #3:	Doubt it Seems much more likely that a technical failure would trigger an automated alert compared to some overreaching plot to secretly test preparedness and successfully keep a lid on it If they wanted to test preparedness they would have taken steps to educate the public about what to do and where to go.
