"BTW EMP is a real threat."

But I don't think we are slackers in that technology, are we? Isn't H.A.A.R.P. a ...uhh... 'multi-purpose facility'?

No. (Not in the same league; the research conducted with the HAARP facility, however, is the ionosphere, the area of the outer atmosphere where EMP is created by the gammma rays emitted from the explosion travelling radically outward ... those gamma rays traveling toward the earth's atmosphere are stopped by collisions with atmospheric molecules at altitudes between 20 and 40 kilometers. These collisions generate Compton recoil electrons which interact with the earth's magnetic field to produce a downward traveling electromagnetic wave, the "EMP" that is.)
