I dunno.. Many of those old tests were to see feasibility of actual nuclear blasts against incoming warheads at high altitude.

The Soviets stocked up Moscow with many of them. I believe the USA had a site over Minot AFB or some other place with nuclear tipped ABM's as well.

I think a warhead would be fairly easy to shield from an e-bomb.

Maybe we could get lucky and catch saddam in a bunker, with no fresh air because of the e-bomb, he would just suffocate, war over?

The warhead would be easy to shield but its telemetry package would not be. If these e-bombs were actually proven to work in a battlefield situation we might be able to disable North Korea's entire arsenal using such weapons.
