National Emergency Alerts

I’m not aware that we are any more at risk of war/attack than in recent times and certainly less so now than during the Cold War. Having lived through those times in permanent terror of nuclear anniialation (sp?) I feel way much safer. I lived close to Soviet first strike targets too so actually took comfort in the fact that I’d likely be incinerated rather than suffering the drawn out deaths portrayed in Sheffield in the movie Threads. 

The point made about electronic attack is well made, an enemy could easily collapse a country by such a high altitude attack which wouldn’t risk fall out drifting back to them.
