We saw how well comms went on 9/11, even with all the
"professionals" supposedly spwaking the same language.

Those political appointees couldn't get a paper bag to interop with a
bonfire to produce ash.

Cops and firemen aren't politicaal appointees.

Cops and firemen have no say in the design of the radio systems in NYC
- they're just the professionals who have to use them.

But "the people who actually do the job" ouldn't even work each other on the same
frequencies.

First, NYPD operates on 450 MHz. FDNY operates on 150 MHz. The
equipment isn't cross-compatible.

My point exactly -- they had no common frequencies with which
to coordinate.

Because the people on the ground have no say in how the systems are
set up. You're proving my point.
