Here we are in this fine HiTECK society, and with all this great New
Trucking radio systems are not worth a **** in a real emergency like in the
Big Easy, and the police can not talk anywhere. Car to Car does not work
either.
Hell CB would work better or something. All police should have a backup
simplex Radio

That's implementation-dependent. The systems can be set up with TACs,
so they can talk without repeaters.

You can give a man water, but if he's too stupid to drink, he'll still
die of thirst.
