Employee who sent false alert in Hawaii not cooperating with FCC probe, official says
By Max Greenwood - 01/25/18 01:44 PM EST


The employee responsible for sending a false mobile alert across Hawaii warning of an incoming ballistic missile is not cooperating with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) investigations looking into the matter, an FCC official said Thursday, according to media reports.

Lisa Fowlkes, who heads the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, told lawmakers at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing that, while leaders at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency were cooperating with investigators, the employee who sent the notification was not.

Anyone else surprised that we havent't learned the name of this employee yet? Wonder what the MSM is worried we would find out about them?

Lisa Fowlkes, who heads the FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau, told lawmakers at a Senate Commerce Committee hearing that, while leaders at the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency were cooperating with investigators, the employee who sent the notification was not.
"We are quite pleased with the level of cooperation we have received from the leadership of the Hawaii Emergency Management Agency thus far," Fowlkes said.
 
 
"We are disappointed, however, that one key employee, the person who transmitted the false alert, is refusing to cooperate with our investigation," she added. "We hope that person will reconsider."

This is of interest to me.

Why is the person who actually sent out false alert refusing to talk.

Not a conspiracy theorist but this is weird.

And it did cause a panic here to some people.  Maybe a lot of people.

Probably because they don't want their name put in a public report so they can be hunted down by a million people who thought they were gonna die because of his incompetence.

If it was an innocent blunder, he'll be okay.  But why is he clamming up.

Thanks for the snide post, Frank, but I usually only read the politics thread and, by the way, this was politics.

Maybe it wasn’t an innocent blunder?  Maybe he or she is mistaken about criminal liability?

This incident wasn't "a mistake".

Why are they protecting him?

Various analyses of available data are interesting. Oblique to your question, PornHub's traffic is interesting...it plunged...then started to rebound even before it was announced to be a false alarm....then overshot!
