PSA copypasted from tumblr, pls boost  :

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.

If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.

@almaember

Am I wrong to think if you have a phone to hide, not from the government, not from hackers, but from someone who might hear it near you that there's a good chance you're a POS.

Don't get me wrong, if your work doesn't allow phones, fuck them.

But I'm stuggling to see how likely it is that anyone that isn't cheating would be worried about a phone being found by it's ring tone.

My top innocent people are:

1. Workers not "allowed" to have phone (fuck that)
2. Sheltered juveniles not allowed to have a phone
3. People secretly living in a billionaires guest room

Drawing a blank on anything else.

Still, feel kinda privaledged with this info so TY
