I must admit, it is slightly unsettling knowing that there is a communications side channel out there which could effectively DDOS every mobile phone.
Not for nothing, I understand why it is useful to be able to broadcast messages/alerts like this and you can just click OK, the message goes away and you get your phone back. But people are really bandying about conspiracy theories that this will activate Marburg virus (what is this, the X-Files?) or be painful if you're vaccinated? FEMA (more X-Files!) is going to literally demonstrate its capability to control your phone.

I need to hang up this tin foil hat.
