[UFO Chicago] Feasibility of e-bomb (EMP) technology

[Eric Pement]

In the wake of the terrorist attack on New York, I just got a couple 
of URL's sent to me about E-bombs, which use electromagnetic pulses 
to permanently disable electrical devices. Anybody here know to what 
degree this is actually feasible? If the technology is feasible and 
the results are as depicted, what protections or countermeasures can 
be used if one is detonated?
