Quite a few people find these alerts useful and/or comforting, so I'm in the minority here it seems.
Perhaps my strong dislike of the nanny state blinds me to their usefulness, but I still struggle to see many cases where the people who would pay any attention to such alerts would not already have better information by other means.
