And all the publicity this is getting reduces the chance anyone will ever be able to do it again.

I don't know ... I've read about astute women communicating their situation to astute 911 dispatchers. Glad it was an astute Pizza Hut employee, and even if someone is asshole enough to make a dummy call in future, I hope it'd be taken seriously. Asshats can always be publicly humiliated; honest people could be dead without the help.

I think xoB is suggesting that now all the hostage takers will be suspicious of pizza orders containing hidden calls for rescue and will prevent such calls.

I wonder if Pizza Hut charges extra for something like that?

Yes, there was a 'convenience fee' added to the bill I saw in the story link.
