“And remember to buy paper copies, or put your kindle/ereader in a mylar bag. FReegards”

This is a common misconception on FR. That an EMP = charged particles, not a gamma ray burst.

A mylar bag will not protect against an EMP. Zip, zero, nada. Charged particles, yes. Gamma rays -no.

To protect agasints gamma rays a few inches of steel or several feet of earth are required.
