Anthony Quinn Warner, the Nashville bomber, had a specialty in alarm/security systems.
From a Public Safety perspective, it is interesting to note that in addition to taking down the Central Office (CO), that in turn took down the Nashville 911 System where the RV was parked, the lost of the Central Office also took out several other 911 Systems in near by jurisdictions. Redundancy in all phases of Public Safety Communications is a paramount design concept, including Radio/Data and 911 systems. With the failure of multiple 911 Systems from one act, I would think that the after-action report for this event would make for some interesting reading. What has not been made public is the potential loss of radio communications that may have occurred due to the Public Safety trunked radio system back-hauls on fiber routes through the Central Office near the event.
