right, there is an issue here.

panic is panic no matter who pushes the panic button. There should not
be a barrier for pushing the panic button when finding an issue. Think
of fire alarms in the real world. 

Interface can be designed in such manner that pushing the button needs a
conscious decision knowing what pushing the button means. And if someone
misuses the panic button then that can be dealt with in various ways.

I would however trust PT with the responsibility to release the button
when verified false, in addition to the person who pushed the button.
This is not something I would trust anyone with an FAS account.
