"....isn’t that precisely why government exists in the first place, to keep us safe?" Well, maybe once upon a time. Anymore they want to control every aspect of your life. From cradle to grave. Too bad for them that there are those out here that are of the mind set of "Leave me alone. If I need you I'll call. Otherwise.........." Have any of the can'tidates addressed this issue? Do any of them have a clue what it is? To paraphrase jojo biden, one word, "faraday cage".

Put the threats on an EMP watch list. Problem solved!

Attempting to armor up America against attacks from Islam are futile. In fact, attempting to so do will force us to give up the freedoms that make America the land of liberty it now is.

As Islam is the reason, extirpate Islam.

Do it before they extirpate us.

The government is doing nothing to mitigate the damage from an EMP because that’s the card they’re holding to play against us at the appropriate time. You can bet that every military base and command center, that every under ground bunker that the government built to guarantee COG is hardened against an EMP. When they hit us with one, only the people will suffer the consequences. We’ll be easier to herd that way...

I think a Faraday cage may protect against EMP, as long as its a solid sheet of metal...out of tin foil or something like that...

This might be the biggest threat we’re facing. Iranians will attack in a smart fashion and taking down the grid will give them the most bang for the buck.

This is a million times more important than chasing down ‘lone wolves’... The FBI needs to get their heads out of the sand..

A successful EMP attack on the nation would be the climax of Sultan Hussein’s project to deconstruct America. Why would his regime do anything to prevent it or to harden the system against it?
