Got a contingency plan for men with guns showing up at your cubicle and ordering you to re-route traffic to please the government?
Section 606 of the 1934 Communications Act provides for government takeover of wired and radio communication in the event of war or "other national emergency".
I'm not saying anything will happen in the next few days. Trump's state of emergency might be just talk. It might be limited to its stated purpose. It's rare for actual disasters to happen.
You've got a disaster recovery plan (DRP), though. If it's not in the next few days, a "national emergency" problem might show up sometime down the road. Does your DRP cover it?
It's hard to imagine a technical solution. This may require the company lawyer to prepare a [Layer 8] contingency plan in advance.

You're listening. Maybe you've gone to my MAGA Rallies. Maybe you saw my Tuesday night Address on NBC, ABC, CBS, Fake News CNN, MSNBC, Fox News or Fox Business -- I remember that you tweeted about the tremendous ratings for that show, very big with the 18-49 demo. And, you almost get it. But, you don't get it yet.
You know, one of the numbers that jumps out is last year, in 2017, actually. Over 3,700 known or suspected terrorists tried to enter into this country. These are serious numbers, when you see the human trafficking. In 2017, our ICE agents saved over 900 kids. One year alone, saved over 900 kids from sexual assault and human trafficking -- things that are happening at the southern border because there’s no wall, there’s no physical barrier. It’s a problem of national security. It’s a problem of terrorists. There’s no way to actually control ports of entry. I'm the first President to honestly confront the crisis of radical Islamic terrorism. Of Islamic extremism, and the Islamists and Islamic terror of all kinds.
You know, I talk about human traffickers. I talk about drugs. I talk about gangs. But a lot of people don’t say, we have terrorists coming through the southern border because they find that’s probably the easiest place to come through. They drive right in and they make a left. Not going to happen. Not going to happen. So we’re not going to do that. We won’t be doing pieces. We won’t be doing it in dribs and drabs.
We haven’t been sitting still for the first, believe it or not, less than two years. We’ve been working very, very hard. The wall is, we’ve done a lot of miles of wall already. So we’re not just starting off fresh, but we have large numbers of miles that we have to do. And we can’t let gaps. Because if you have gaps, those people are going to turn their vehicles, or the gangs -- they’re going to come in through those gaps. And we cannot let that happen. We can have a wonderful port of entry, but you have 2,000 miles of border between the United States and Mexico. And if you take a look and you see, like we do, through certain technology -- including cameras and airplanes, not just drones -- you’ll see vast numbers of vehicles driving through the desert and entering where you don’t have a very powerful fence or a wall. I was explained too, and I explained to people -- because it’s really common sense: So you have ports of entry, and we have great security at the ports of entry, and then you may have fencing or walls, up and down, left and right, east and west. But they stop because we don’t have proper border security.
These people have vehicles and they drive to the right. They’re not going through where we have great Border Patrol officers and ICE officers, and military now. I tell you, the military has done a fantastic job. They don’t stop. They go right to the easiest part and the weakest part, sometimes out in desert. But you have miles and miles and miles of unprotected area. And you can see where they drive over. You even have people walking that track. And that’s a very dangerous trek. And they bring children -- or even worse, they use children.
The Obama Administration made a very bad deal with Iran. Great deal for Iran. But bad for our Country. The terrible Iran Deal, besides granting U. S. citizenship to 2,500 Iranians, including to government officials -- how big and bad is that? -- gave Iran total freedom to develop the nuclear. I brought back the Sanctions -- I moved very strongly. But, we don't know how far they got with that. I'll tell you this, we did the Back Pack Nuke, very successfully. And Russia has had tremendous success with that one. Not great, Russia is a very tough competitor. But Iran, I would actually say they're a foe. People don't think of this, Iran has become a foe. And you think about, what if they send a child with the Back Pack Nuke? That child can just drive right into our Country. I say, our Country. But if you don't have a border, you don't have a country. At all.
The fact is that if we don’t have barriers, walls -- call them what you want -- but if we don’t have very strong barriers, where people cannot any longer drive right across -- they have unbelievable vehicles. They make a lot of money. They have the best vehicles you can buy. They have stronger, bigger, and faster vehicles than our police have, and than ICE has, and than Border Patrol has. So they’re pretty good at that. They have areas that they go to. It’s like a highway. And we have to close them up. And if we don’t close them up, you’re all kidding yourselves. Foolish!!!
