While the threat of a terroristic use of a nuclear weapon is very real, I do not believe anything short of all-out nuclear war (and MAD) would motivate any party to employ a high altitude nuclear detonation (generally required for EMP).

There's just too much bang for the buck in targeting people and buildings and such to worry about electronics.

If one is unfortunate enough to be affected by a terrorist act, there are more likely threats to your IPOD, e.g., blast, metling due to fire, being crushed or, most likely of all, being dropped as you bug out to the hills with your PSK to take on TEOTWAWKI to the strains of that Dallas-area band, Bloodrock. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
