EAS is the interruption protocol that replaced EAS allowing takeover of an unmanned station (AM, FM or TV) by another in the event of an "emergency" situation. This is the series of modem tones you hear when they test it. The problem is there's not enough security or authentication to verify who's broadcasting, so nearly any program can be superimposed on any station with the takeover of just one. This should be unplugged.

Somehow, I feel like if somebody finds a way to send out zombie attack warnings on a daily basis for a week, the problem will take care of itself.
Indeed, they'd track the person down and arrest them in less time than that. "Problem solved."
No. Not that easy.
Only if that person is foolish enough to mess with the same station twice and doesn't use adequate layers of VPN to mask the source of the attack.
No. This would not just be the FBI investigating, they would have tips from the NSA, DIA, etc.
