Things are getting scary

BBC news interactive are running a piece on the government implementing new methods of air raid warnings, saying the old style sirens will not be taken heed of, instead using modern methods of mass warning the public of attack by text messaging, digital tv and internet, they are setting this into action as we speak, now, am i the only one a little nervous of this? do they know something the general public don't?. The scary thing to me is that if it were propaganda to highten tension preparing the UK public for war with Iraq, it would be on national news, but it's not, it's hidden away, a small article on digital interactive (bbci - news - scitech 15sept)
