Does Siri have a secret signal to summon 911?

From Sophos Naked Security:

Does Siri have a secret signal to summon 911?

Siri, Apple's smooth talking voice assistant, seems to get more publicity that just about all other voice recognition systems put together.

We suspect there are lots of reasons.

Siri was the first widely-deployed speech recognition system that vaguely worked; she talks back to you in calm tones with a well modulated accent; she's (apparently) imperturbable; and to ask for her assistance, you can simply call her by name, as you might a friend.
