They could just as easily place 4-5 low yield weapons on commercial jets. Detonating them over NYC, Richmond, St. Louis, Cheyenne, and Los Angelos.

The EMP would damage over 75% of our electronics and severly restrict our ability to respond.

Loose lips sink ships.

Do you think those would go undetected?

Military electronics that are critical are hardened against such attacks. You are fear mongering and incorrect.

at commercial altitudes the atmosphere would soak up most of the pulse... that is why it needs to be ~300mi up so ALL the energy is converted to gamma rays that cause the EMP
