Granted this is from Hal Lindsey, but even so, I agree that this is a VERY serious issue. It seems like American culture and society exists to act like ether- keeping us occupied with things other than this. Shocking how simply one of these devices could take us out in 10 seconds. A sub off the coast- heck, a U-Haul truck if it's al qaeda. Not brain surgery.

I still can't figure out just how serious this EMP threat is. I see some websites making it out to be the end of civilization as we know it in this country, and other sites that present a good case that this is way over hyped. For the latter, see for example:

No one is going to take us out with an EMP strike.
If some one tries we will smoke half the planet like a Marlboro and everyone will need a new teevee and stereo. Be the biggest economic boom in the history of civilization.
All these threats are hyped to an extreme extent by people who have a cottage industry promoting fear in the minds of people of less than average intellect.

Thank you for your concern of our security, your input and your article, it is appreciated.
At many many levels EMP is way overrated of a threat to US. I could say more if you wish.

Well, you gotta get the burst pretty high up otherwise its not going to cover a large area...so a U-Haul probably isn't cause a huge amount of damage.
