Thank you baker!
I watched Levin last nite and it seems the FBI already looked into it, as is standard procedure. They found nothing. No reason to go further. Remember, the FBI is fucked at the top. Boots on the ground aren't comped like the asshole's running the shop.
"There are four things in the Football. The Black Book containing the retaliatory options, a book listing classified site locations, a manila folder with eight or ten pages stapled together giving a description of procedures for the Emergency Broadcast System, and a three-by-five inch card with authentication codes."

The E.B.S. became the E.A.S. in 1997.
It has had false alarms and has been hacked before, though, not anything to do with the football at that time. Hacking has improved over time, test must reflect that.
E.A.S. test moved due to continuing weather issues, this is too important to have sidebar problem, nor do they want to alarm citizens already in bad weather.
This is going to be a stress test to ensure nobody can fuck with the football. We do not need a FF that involves the football under any circumstance.
Remain calm and stop guessing. This is being done to ensure POTUS can warn the population, regardless of the threat or level.
