For some reason the video isn't running when I go there. Bit in any case electro magnetic pulses and their effect on circuitry is well known. Don't worry, the military used hardened chips that are difficult to fry.
EMP (electro magnetic pulse) weapons exist , the USA and USSR have them.
The problem is they disable all electronics friend and foe civilian and military, you can't target them at a specific location.
I pressed Submit on the Moderators thread at 15:32 and it said thread closed 15:06! I just wasted 20 minutes! What made you think it was all done with.

In the sixties this came to the fore - EMP associated with a nuclear blast

it is preceded by a blast over the north sea which generates an EMP and blows 90% of all circuitry
The American one with Jason Robarts also features an EMP
If you look at the Hiroshima bomb some articles begin with a Japanese notice to Tokyo - "at 8.i5 am today all communication with city of Hiroshima suddenly ceased...." They then decide someone from Tokyo has to go down and have a look, which they say will take three days on a/c of American bombing...
so yeah it has been known about for a along time - 50 y or so
//Is this one of the things that will happen if the UK leaves the EU :-)//
yeah an EMP post brexit
imagine all her majesty's judges in the the supreme court all going floppy mid-sentence as a result of all their pace makers blowing
( it could be like a scene from Alien as the contents come out of their chests - or Scanners )
re-read ( the erm article on EMP c gtr concentration ) - I think it has to copper ( lead is not a good conductor for these purposes ) and it doesnt have to be solid --- a faraday cage will do.

Do you know the answer?
How seriously is this being taken, or is it just scaremongering?
