I toured the new state of the art tower at Addison airport last week and
was struck by all the security measures they employed.


Everything but a NOAA weather radio.


That's the union whining, as usual. All facilities have high speed
internet access in all operating quarters. When ever there is bad
weather around we will always have a web page up with a weather radar
site, usually Weather Underground as that self updates every 8-10 minutes.

You mean I'm privileged enough to have access to the very same ultra-advanced
sources of weather information used by air traffic controllers?

It's a good thing that the Internet never has any problems, nor can web
sites (or a tower's connection) ever go down.

What's that got to do with anything? Controller A can drop the "weather
radio" into the sink. The point you're missing is this couldn't have
less to do with a weather radio.

Right. I'm fond of backups. I keep trying to see where I can store an
extra engine in my club's 182s, for example.

Ah. That explains why the engine has heating problems placed back there.
