Swear to Og, I think scanners are the biggest hobby in small towns.
Doing festival security/first aid near Small Towns, we’re always warning our staff and volunteers that they really should *not *say anything over the two way that they don’t want to see in the newspaper tomorrow. The surrounding farmers ARE listening, believe me. “Security, please come to First Aid at your earliest convenience,” is a lot safer than, “Holy crap, this guy is tearing my shack apart, I think he’s on meth, would some very large person please come take him to the police car waiting up top?!”
