The link in the OP states that this isn't really the correct menu and has an updated one.

The updated one isn't that much better IMHO.

I still can’t believe that the explanation was that a wrong button was pushed. One would think that there would be more than one layer of things to go through to send out a warning like that so that this kind of incident doesn’t happen.


Amazing what crappy computer systems and custom software states run just because some politician’s BIL has a computer or software company. Louisiana has some doozies.

If/when the time comes that the actual warning needs to be sent out, the operator will probably be redirected to a page that he can't get out of due to a persistent pop-up that won't go away until he stops running scripts on the page. I'm not sure which scenario is scarier.
