My reply was a defense of the entire industry.  The fact that ADT was
the central is irrelevant.  It would have happened the same way
regardless.  From reading the article and not having access to all the
facts, it appears that the correct code was entered after the
allowable time had elapsed for a cancel.  ADT's monitoring system is
very automated, and there is very little room for operator error.
