EMP part 2

I neglected to mention in my last post that the “33 minute” missile flight time from Iran or North Korea is an unlikely scenario.  That’s actually much more warning than we’d really get, plus it would allow us to immediately retaliate against our attackers.  Much more likely is the scenario in “One Second After”—a shorter-range missile launched from a freighter in the Gulf of Mexico.  That would give us maybe 10 minutes, and no one to retaliate against.
