An EMP attack...

Are our enemies planning an EMP attack???

Another way to destroy the electric grid as well as everything computerized: an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack. In 2001, the U.S. government established a commission to "assess the threat to the United States" from an EMP attack. The commission reported to Congress that if a nuclear warhead were to be detonated at high altitude over the American mainland, the blast would produce a shock wave so powerful that it would "cripple military and civilian communications, power, transportation, water, food and other infrastructure." Before long, millions of Americans would, as the Wall Street Journal flatly phrased it, "die of starvation or want of medical care." The CIA has translated Iranian military journals in which EMP attacks against the U.S. are explicitly discussed.
