EMP strikes wouldn’t be all that bad for civilians, either. Here’s a paper to dispel some of the hysterical myths.

Well, I don’t know how you define “not all that bad for civilians, either.” What do you mean by “either?”
1. Did you actually read Section 8 of the 168 page report yo posted? I don’t see where it is not all that bad for civilians...Please direct me to that passage.
2. The report does not address cyber attacks that can bring down the grid—IMHO that is more likely scenario.
3. I went to the Metatech website and saw no staff directory of names and credentials~in fact not a lot of info on exactly who they are at all...Why should I believe them? Why do you?
4. The report was prepared NINE years ago...
—You think technology might have changed a bit? Like how accomplished the Chinese and Nork hackers have become?
—This report was funded and filed during the Obama administration...by a company I know nothing about...Why would I trust any of it?
