WELLLLLLLLLL......

Nuts to the DOD
and Nuts to the hardwired freaks being used by the DOD.

This is media hype to make us scared.
Pay more taxes and give up more freedom to be safer.
Terrorism, like happiness, comes from the inside.

Most likey we'll see a nerd war.

Nerd War I
The dweebs from Macintish will be terrorising the freaks from Microsoft.

Nerd war II
While the geeks from Dell wreek havoc on the morons at Hewlet packard.

Then the all out Techie war.

There will be spock ears and drafting kits strewn across the fruited planes of america.
And gorgeous empty headed girls will be lined up at ATM's with daddy's bank card wondering what to do now.

Personally I am still developing my hand held EMP device.
Drop in a fedex package and send it to your competitor with a letter attached that says:
"Dear Secretary,
If you ever wondered why your boss can't open his own mail but he can drive a brand new Mercedes push this little red button.
Signed,
Someone Who Thinks You're Being Treated Like Crap"

You'll get the client every time.

I have to go sit at the end of a run way now with my volkswagon bus and wait for the feds.

<FONT COLOR="Red">I think it's all disinformation bullshit. It amy not mean that much, but as far as I know, RF cannot shut down things like computer proc's and what have you. More likely this is being thrown out there to ferret out the kids that dont wanna go and shoot up the school, but still want to make a bit of mayhem happen.

"Lewis said it would become increasingly harder for authorities to stem rogue access to destructive technologies...."
Yeah, well they couldny hide it from the Boss here, and like I said.... they WANT you to know about this, because it serves their purposes.</FONT c>

The only thing that'd wreck computer chips and the like would be EMF radiation. As far as I know, the only way to produce energy in levels high enough to destroy would be to detonate a thermonuclear device.

Edit: Aluminum siding wouldn't shield against RF - the entire upper level of my house has siding, and I listen to the radio easily enough here. Metal, like plastic, isn't a very good shield against RF.

Ha ha!
My hometown is famous. I live in Ridgecrest CA. This town is an Engineering town. Probably close to one third of the residents have some form of college degree. This is the place that brought you the sidewinder missile, part of the Manhattan project, Most of the Michelson experiments, and lots of EMP research. No you don't need a nuclear bomb to generate a pulse large enough to destroy CMOS circuits. TTL circuits are much more robust. Most of you know that you can fry the memory in your PC by holding it in your bare hand while walking on carpeting. The CMOS technology used in microprocessors and memory is very sensitive to EMP.
The device they described is very heavy and large. Probably extremely high voltage and employing a large Leyden jar and spark gap transmitter hooked to a Tesla coil.
No this is not easy to build like they say. Not hard to construct but requires knowledge to make it work. It is no more dangerous than a computer virus or a book of matches and much easier to defend against.
It is all slight-of-hand tactics. If you are worrying about this thing maybe you won't notice another piece of your civil liberties being whisked away.

Woof.

Damn, are the people over at the DOD a bunch of paranoid muthafuckas or what? There is inherent danger in just about everything. I'm sure if you took somebody creative enough, they could build a McGyver device using Jello and some gum wrappers.

What the Govt. seems to forget is that those that they lavel the "bad guys" are just as smart as their good guys. You just have to trust us more. http://www.thehypertribe.net/ubb/smile.gif
