        So you know what it's like to ride a subway or even a bus in NYC and get a thousand "public safety" messages.

        You brush away the "public saftey" argument, but I don't think your take really comes to terms with how massive of an emergency would have to be taking place for this alert system to ever actually be used.

        I would see it more as a way for people to see that the president is more and more playing a symbolic role. I mean obviously half the country was like Eff yeah and the other was rolling their eyes. Seems like more partisan work.

        They didn’t take over your phone. They sent the equiv of an amber alert. Holy crap people are over reacting.

        Yeeeah, but I can suppress amber alerts and I can’t suppress presedential alerts. It highlights how little control I really have over a device I paid a lot for
