[Psalm118]

"The article fails to mention that the range of these so-called poor-mans EMP weapons is very, very small. That would mean that these devices would have to be deployed WITHIN a facility to do any damage at all. EMP weapons with any decent range are too large and way too sophisticated to be of any use to terrorists.

Our own government used to have to use a nuke to get enough available power for decent EMP ranging.

So, relax."

Okay boss, I'm relaxed...

...well...I AM TRYIN!

Now tell me what about going under some transmission line way way out in the boonies and firing one of 'em crackers at the overhead lines?. Still a dud, you say?.

"Now tell me what about going under some transmission line way way out in the boonies and firing one of 'em crackers at the overhead lines?. Still a dud, you say?."

And didn't the big NE power outage last month start with just a few lines somewhere?

[Pukin Dog]

Yes, still a dud. Too much attenuation on those lines for the surge to travel far.
