I’ve never had my phone’s emergency alerts go off as much as they have in the last few weeks. Multiple Amber alerts, severe storm warnings, and now I just got one that said there’s a Hispanic male wielding a shotgun loose in the cornfields of a town like an hour away from me. Are they trying to keep people vigilant, or keep up the fear tactics they’ve been using since the COVID pandemic started? Or are they working out the kinks of the system to make it’s ready for some much bigger announcements in the future?

Someone posted an article here a few days ago, warning that the EBS is "prone to hackers" without some sort of software update. Could this be part of a counter-op to get people to disregard EBS messages in the future, believing they are fake?
It wont matter because if the EBS goes off and people dont listen they will not be able to use their phones because the internet will be down on them They will still have desk top internet with 24/7 messages and proof. Also on television so no matter what people world wide will see it.
