  You are quite correct.  I worked in Gov't for 3 long annoying years.  And I still have Gov't clients.  BUT, to the point of EAS.  The FBI appears to have given up on EAS and its fellow government agencies.  They have inked a deal with Radio One to be a distributor of emergency info via radio during local and national concerns.
