I think the main thing is there isn't enough definative info out there for the average person. We know it will effect electronics and that is about it and we know what we read from nuclear testing in years past (like when they blew the fuses in Hawaii). I think someone needs to come up with a definative answer (in laymans terms) of what the EMP from a suitcase type dirty bomb or small nuke would do and what the EMP from one of those Korea size bombs would do (as that seems to be the current threat) and for what distance. There is more false info out there then true and the movies arn't helping. Personally, I'm planning for everything to be gone and hoping for the best. Plan for the worst, hope for the best seems to be the best option right now. <img src="/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
