That Hawaii security employee who wasn't cooperating...

He thought it was really happening.
The worker said in a written statement that he had misheard a recorded message as part of an unscheduled drill. The FCC's investigation is still under way, but the agency reported that a combination of human error and improper safeguards led to the confusion that resulted in the erroneous message [that a missile was inbound for Hawaii] being disseminated statewide via text message and other means. It took 38 minutes for officials to correct the mistake.

Even if he thought it was real, did he have authority to just send out the alert on his own decision? Something doesn't smell quite right.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
