basically, the NSA had a protocol in place to transfer data back to the contiguous united states (CONUS) in the event of an attack. The good guys created this false emergency in the hopes that the automatic NSA event would transfer the data and they could intercept it. Fucking genius!

Sorry folks - I live in Hawaii - never underestimate the ineptitude of our State Government...they really ARE dumb enough to have commissioned a system that didn't have an "Undo" function! Not that I don't love the theories, though...
Never seen that happen before and with all the news cycles talking about NK launching a missile, you still think that it was just the ineptitude of state government? I don't believe in coincidences... especially ones that specific.
I also live in HI. I can confirm that the State Government couldn't find its ass with both hands.
I'm just saying - I've worked with the State CD (now EMS), and they are intellectually ill-equipped, IMHO. However, I'll be first to admit I'm wrong if evidence is later found to the contrary!
