Why would this prompt more legislation restricting radios and scanners?
Scanners don't transmit, and they already have enough adiquate laws
concerning transmitters. New ones won't solve anything.

Does the government actually NEED a reason to take away more freedom? Not
anymore...

Screw the FCC

Great story. Great way to get more legislation passed restricting radios
and scanners. Wait till the FCC finds out. Boy oh boy, this guy is my
hero....

In Nebraska, my hometown use to activate the tornado and civil
defense sirens using a series of tones that were transmitted over
the regular police channels.

I built a small 10 milliwatt transmitter to that frequency, recorded
the tones when they tested them, then would drive by a siren and play
back the tones. Sure enough, I could set off the tornado sirens.
Not city wide, of course. People sure would come out and look around
when the tornado sirens were going off in January with snow coming down.

jesus christ, now thats scary.
