#3 You've got to wonder how often we called in a notice and watched the cell phone lines light up and the targets scramble to safety at some large population area they know we wouldn't target.

If I was the CIA I'd send warnings in the middle of the night all the time. Keep the buggers awake and also make the numb to the warnings. Then eventually after you've cried wolf often enough: BAM!
