Well then, I’m assuming that it can’t be stopped! What kind of idiots would reveal this if it could be?
brilliant... let the enemy know that you have the technology and how it works. brilliant.
do these people think wrapping the IED in a metal casing to block radio waves (tin foil? wire mesh?) would be beyond the capability of the enemy?
how long must i endure my country being run by idiots and teenagers... but i repeat myself. and don’t say november... once they pass the executive order for amnesty, there will be 20m+ new dem voters.

Aren’t many IED’s triggered by fine trip-wires and mechanical pressure plates?
“how long must i endure my country being run by idiots and teenagers”
Agreed.
Can I check if you are putting in your 1 weekend a month to help a good candidate in your area?
I wish I had good candidates in my area.... I’m in Illinois.
Even when we get a good candidate, the RINO’s team up with the Dems to run them out of town.
Oberweiss was the last guy I did volunteer work for, and would do it again, but I don’t think he’ll get involved.
If you can detonate a roadside bomb underground I would think aiming the device at every house in every village would obtain some interesting results.
If they're setting off normal IED’s then tin foil won't effect the device. Most IED’s are artillery shells a foot or more underground.
Clever and needed for a long time.
True, but with the current ROE situation it would never be used.
I believe Sten is referring to the fact that this technology is generating Electromagetic Pulses designed to destroy the electronics of the IED.
The Faraday cage would work as a defense.
But the new device targets the explosive itself.
No doubt there would be rules that you had to clear occupied buildings before you turn it on said building.
Would a verbal warning be sufficent. “Hello, anyone in there might want to leave....one, two, ect.
Not so secret anymore, is it?
Considering that it would also block their own detonation signal, I would say unlikely.
I don't understand the technology other than Marx Generators are designed to produce EMP's which generally are used to disrupt electronics.
I take reporters' interpretation of anything with a large grain of salt.
I just hope it works and works at a distance.
All politics is NOT local. Find out which candidates around the country need your help. Do triage: avoid the sure winners and sure losers, and go for the battleground elections.
So much energy, time, and money is wasted by people slavishly adhering to Tip O’Neill’s maxim. Or are they in it for the personal gain in their local fairy-tale GOP establishment? Do that some other time. This year is too important.
Why is this being spoken of, rather than implemented,
before the enemy makes countermeasures?
