Interesting viewpoint (BTW, why do you never identify who you are?)
If you don't want anyone transiting your gateway, then it is really easy just to stop the services on the gateway, or block the inbound ports. But from the point of view of many of us and our Emergency Management Agencies, communications outside of the local area is a very important capability. No area is an island. Many events escalate to the point where cities ask counties ask states ask federal (pick one or more) for help. And once you ask for help from above, the folks in that remote EOC are going to want to know what is going on. Here in Atlanta, we are the home of the State EOC and the FEMA Region EOC. We recognize that there will be times where any county in the state or state in the region will want to talk to our area. But if you don't want anyone to talk to you, just stop the services or block the ports. Ed WA4YIH
