A disadvantage I see is that a waiver is going to be required in order
not to violate FCC rules. In fact, in the state of Florida, interfering
with broadcast stations is against state law, so another hurdle to be
overcome.

Yes, the budget is rich with expected legal expenses. Since DHS has become
a player in this, we are hopeful that we can get the necessary punch to
overcome FCC and statutory issues.

That being said, for this system to work, you have to blanket
the entire AM and FM broadcast bands. Even doing so will leave out the
motorists who use XM or Sirius, the Ipod listeners and those who are
driving with their cellphones plugged into their ears.

Do we have to blanket or only blanket each locale, that is, the
broadcasting stations of each locale?

Not only will we miss those no AM/FM listeners, we will miss those that
don't have their radios on. An aggressive, road sign campaign is planned
something like " Turn On Your Radio, It Could Save Your Life" type of thing
near each incident site.
