Amber Alerts are for abducted children, not missing children. While information about the child is important - the parent should already know that information - the most important information needed is about the abductor. If the kid is in the back of a van all the pictures and descriptors in the world won't help. A description of the van and the bad guy will.

The point is that you have a physical representation of exactly the data you need in the event that your child has been lost. If your child has been abducted you don't want to be searching for photos, blood type, contact info, medical records, and all of the associated info. You want to pull out this device from a safe place, and have everything you need ready to go. -Josh The point of this device is not that you are getting storage.
