The FCC issued a report on the Hawaii false missile alert, blaming an employee who allegedly mistook a drill for a real event. The hosts find the explanation suspicious, noting that the recorded drill message reportedly contained the phrase "this is not a drill" and that the employee's account differs from Governor David Ige's initial "wrong button" explanation.

The FCC reported that the Hawaii Emergency Management employee responsible for the false ballistic missile alert is not cooperating with investigators. Meanwhile, the Oregon Department of Transportation accidentally issued a false alert regarding an aircraft crash on I-5 due to a technician's error during a system test. The hosts speculated whether these frequent false alarms are unintentional mistakes or psychological tests of public reaction.

A false ballistic missile alert was transmitted to cell phones, televisions, and radios across Hawaii on January 13, 2018. Governor David Ige and Emergency Management Administrator Vern Miyagi attributed the error to a mistake made by an employee during a routine shift change. The alert, which stated "this is not a drill," caused widespread panic for 38 minutes before a formal cancellation was issued via the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System.

### Airport Panics, LAX Zorro Incident

A series of false alarms and panics have struck major U.S. airports, including a high-profile incident at LAX involving a man dressed as Zorro. Reports of gunfire, which later proved to be unfounded, led to mass evacuations and several minor injuries as travelers fled onto the tarmac. These events, occurring shortly before the anniversary of 9/11, suggest a heightened state of public anxiety and potential "security theater" testing by authorities.
