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

[Sten Turpin]

Supposedly, they're pretty simple. I've always wondered why we never heard of 
them being used. Then again, if it really was Osama Bin Laden (and honestly, 
I think the people investigating this case were researching backwards- here's 
our suspect list, let's build the evidence, rather than the other way 
around), the goal is not to damage the US economy, but to kill people. I 
wonder why groups like Greenpeace or the militia weirdos aren't more into 
EMP...
