Stupidity Bump!

EMP effects realiably lethal to electronics are also going to be reliably lethal to a large part of the civilian population in the immediate area (imagine sticking your head in a microwave oven, jimmying the safety interlock, and turning the thing on at full power).

You've said some foolish and absurd things before, Poohbah, but this just takes the cake.

How so?

This is a known factor in EMP warhead employment and targeting, and has been commented on in more than one Air Force study (the best coverage is the AF2025 study report that covers a Global Area Strike System).
