yes, I caught that.

Both energy waves. Sonic toward living things, EMP of some form toward electronics.

Russians were big into developing ultra low frequency sound wave weapons or so I have read. I have to believe that we possess similar capabiliries if such weapons are reality. If not, we should.

CMOS is so high impedance it is very susceptible.

I’m not sure the extreme confusion would be noticed in the state department, unless it was to give them a promotion.
