Just imagine parking off the departure end of a major airport's active runway and "shooting" a newer generation B-757, 777, Airbus A-380 as it passes 1,000' over Boston, New York, SFO, etc. No noise, no blast, no signal...just an aircraft with virtually all of it's computers neutralized.
Think about that one. BTW, for those concerned about his being posted on the Internet, the entire instruction book for making the bomb that Ramzi Yousef used on Phillipine Airlines Flt # 454 was posted on the net years ago complete with part numbers and how to order the components.

I was just discussing this with a relative of mine. He is one of the "did you hear cow mutalations are up" type of people, but every now and then he brings up a good point.
Apparently he's heard rumors of a large scale EMP test that Russia did and the results were spectacular.
I wonder if the trusty Maddog would continue flying?
