The weapon is silent, and if dropped above Kansas, one could wipe out all
electronics in the USA, essentially pushing us back to the 1800s. Even cars would be permanently fried, except for deisels and some older models. And the possibility that terrorists would use this is overwhelming, as all you need is money and brains, and terrorists have plenty of both.
You come home and turn on the TV. Then the lights go out, but the TV still glows eerily, its been
overloaded. Your cell phone feels very hot, its battery also overloaded. You look
out the window and see that almost all the traffic has stopped,at least gasoline powered ones made after 1990. You recognize the signs of an e-bomb strike and look for your
survival kit and gun.
