Those tests were not over Hawaii. They were quite far away from it. Not to say there is not a certain degree of hype regarding EMP. But an EMP laydown consisting of 400 - 500 mile high space bursts, in a grid of about 10 detonations over CONUS would be a complete disaster. Anyone trained in physics (I am) can see this.

I agree with you.

But the task of getting 10 nuclear tipped satellites into a 500 mile orbit would not go unnoticed.

True, but I imagine NORAD would notice the launches. Unless they have been prepositioned in commercial satellites, in which case the sudden rearrangement would raise some eyebrows.
