Quick side story on EMP.
A hobby of mine is Tube audio gear. Tube amps and pre-amps... etc. Hooray for analog! Anyway, for a while there the only place you could get tubes was from the former soviet union. Back story... It seems they figured out during the cold war that tubes SURVIVE EMP blasts. (like... say... one produced from an atomic stike) So even up through the 80's LOTS of soviet military stuff was still based on tubes so AFTER the first round of nukes flew, they'd still have their gear while the west would be sitting on a pile of melted transistors.
Anyway. I'm glad they persued that line of thinking, or my stereo wouldn't work today. *grin*
Another side note. Not that any of us would DREAM of trying to outrun the cops in our trucks, but they should be immune to a Pulse too. Heck... the stock radio should still work.
