No ... Giggle ... no paranoia here ... that is the
merry Christmas wish of a certain lunatic in Iran.

There are many potential sources of electromagnetic
pulses, the most common is lightning, common here.

I am seeking electrically and mechanically rugged
components, EMP resistance is one handy point of
reference.
