Re: E-bombs as Anti-PA, anti-electronic

Just as an FYI on 'E' bombs and their effects....

Having worked on electronics systems for military aircraft I can tell
you 
that EMP shielding is pretty standard on all military equipment. It's
pretty 
much built into the frames. All that is required is 'grounding' the EMP 
charge to the frame ground and interrupting the wave. I'm not sure how 
'powerful' these E-bombs are supposed to be, (media hype had one 2000lb
bomb 
sized E-bomb wiping all the electronics in New York out but I'm doubting

that) but realistically, everything WE and the USSR sold Iraq was EMP 
shielded. Probably hoping that the shielding hasn't been maintained.

(Hmmm, my spell check kept trying to replace "E-bomb" with "A-bomb"....
makes 
you wonder :o)
