Why do people need to get into submarines for an EMP pulse?!
(Nothing like a little hysterical article to make people lose focus)
Are all of the committee members on the congressional committee who issued the report linked in this article "hysterical"?
Are all of the respected military, scientific, and political people who are quoted in this article "hysterical"?
Get real.
The fact that you made such a statement regarding the article in response to the one post indicates to me that either you did not read the article in whole, or that you are willing to write-off an entire list of very respectable and noted authorities on the issue. Either way, it does not reflect well.
