The Electromagnetic Pulse Commission Warns of an Old Threat with a New Face
Snippet:
A nuclear-generated electromagnetic pulse "is one of a small number of threats that has the potential to hold our society seriously at risk and might result in defeat of our military forces." The Commission to Assess the Threat to the United States from Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Attack announced this startling conclusion in a July 22 report to Congress.1 This alarming report clears the way for Congress to debate more seriously the most effective measures to meet the threat of an EMP attack.
Exactly what I told my daughter's boyfriend...
This article is written in such a casual way - missile found, no big deal.....
Good story . . . just happens to find missile by trash can along the Turnpike . . . just happens to decide to take it home . . . never dawns on him that it could be dangerous . . . something sounds a little off to me . . .
Yeah, I find missiles all the time on the side of the road when I pull over to take a leak. Don't you? lol
Got it!
Some of us are not familiar with weapons. Could you, someone, explain the range of uses for a surface to air missle? Obviously an airplane could be a target. Could a train be a target? a building? What are the limitations of such weapons?
See freepmail
Could you explain these charts? I see the numbers in red and green and the Z-value -- how do you translate the info?
Yes, thank you.
Have you seen this one?

(snip)Copper piping is sometimes used in the making of certain types of bombs.
Crouse said he does not believe the heist was the work of terrorists but may be someone related to the construction industry.
(snip)The stolen cab is a white 2000 Freightliner with a Pennsylvania registration AE22152. The trailer is a 26-foot-long 1965 Trailway with a Pennsylvania registration XNO8721.
Snippet from your article:
According to security sources, the games have been hit by another security failure: Plans to check backgrounds of staff were dropped as organizers ran out of time.
