Can you say EMP?
It would never get here
I've read a couple of articles that indicates our intelligence community is concerned that NK may have a device on board one of the two satellites orbiting the earth. As it passes over the United States, the reports suggest they could detonate over our territory....thus creating an EMP.
Whether true or not, can't say. Sounds plausible given the Norks would love to be able to have this sort of capability over the U.S.. If attacked by the U.S., who knows?
