Geez. I hope we have a defense for this. Within ten years, I'm guessing one of our many adversaries around the globe will have access to something like this.

Of course, I am not that knowledgeable about these things. But given how nuclear technology went from the top secret Manhattan Project to world wide nuclear proliferation, I can imagine that this technology will find its way into some bad guy's arsenal in the coming years.

This is of course what will happen. But the good thing is we have this weapon now, and they don't. America's military prowess (apart from the heroic men and women of the armed forces) rests not so much in her weapons, but in her technological edge. That is an edge that we must always be willing to maintain.

If you enjoy realistic fiction alah Tom Clancy, Koonts's book "America" deals with this type of weaponry. It's an enjoyable read.

Well, if Mrs. Clinton gets in to the White House, it's almost a guarantee that she and her administration will sell any secrets we may have--if her hubby hasn't done it already. My, what we have to look forward to!

The ChiComs are feverishly working on such technology. Depending upon how upcoming elections go, they may be "in the market". It will be interesting to see how Terry McAuliffe launders their purchase.
