It’s only scary stuff until you realize just how far up the bomb has to be to achieve the effects described. That “single attack” bomb would have to be higher up than the space shuttle. EMPs are a boogie man. A boogie man the sewing fear crowd has been waving around for 40+ years, but the suckers still keep freaking out.

Single bomb would need to be 250 miles up, about where Iran has been orbiting their payloads.
