Mandatory Cell-Phone Chips for PLAN Prevent Opting-Out of Alerts from Obama.·
By Jim Wrenn, Editor, PoliSat.Com , PoliticalXray.Com .
May 11, 2011--
The federal mandate for special chips to be embedded in all cell phones enables
an emergency-notification
system known as the PLAN for instantaneous broadcast of emergency
alerts such as Amber Alerts, alerts from local leaders, terrorist warnings,
natural-disaster warnings, urgent messages from Nanny Mayor
Bloomberg, and Presidential Messages from President Obama. The
acronym "PLAN" stands for "Personal
Localized Alert Networks." The chips permit cell-phone
users to "opt-out" of all such automatic messages except Presidential
Messages.
Needless to say, the value of automatically receiving special Alerts from President Obama cannot be overstated. Indeed, I recently experienced the benefit to receiving an alert from President Obama himself:
Thank goodness I received the alert just in time to prevent my backsliding into the eco-crime of depositing a glass container into the paper-only recycle bin. I am grateful, however, that I can opt-out of special dietary instructions from Mayor Bloomberg.
