Comprehensive baloney.
Such a bomb is far more complex than a lot of other possible types of threats. And therefore a lot less likely to be available to terrorists.

thought we already have them, plus a high altitude nuke explosion would cause it too

Do you all realize we may live the rest of our lives being threatened by these sand farmers? I for one have had enough.

Is this clown trying to coin a new term? This weapon/effect already
has a name, and it's "EMP" (Wiki:
ElectroMagnetic Pulse), not E-Bomb. AFAIK, it's one effect of a
nuclear explosion.

The next terror threat facing the United States is not a nuclear or gas attack but an electro-magnetic bomb or e-bomb
Highly over rated as to disruptive potential. The EMP bomb would have to be detonated at a relatively high altitude and one bomb would have a limited area of effect. Equipment made in the last 20 years or so is well shielded so the effect would be limited to very old equipment.

This has been gone over ad nauseum in FR. The equipment that counts is already hardened against EMP pulses. We could get hurt bad, but not completely crippled.

An EMP is not so impressive as one might think.
Most of our civilian infrastructure would surely reboot, but our military electronics are shielded against such threats.
Nice try, Akmed.

Since the official report of the cause of the northeastern US electrical outage a couple years ago was a tree limb in rural Ohio, all they need is to find a tree limb.
[I never did buy that 'tree limb in rural Ohio' excuse.]

Is this "E-bomb" the same type of bomb they used in the movie Oceans Eleven?
