The US arsenal has few (or fewer) ONE megatonners. Anyone have any up-to-date info on this type of info??
EMP would devastate the civilian economies of any of the consumer-based societies. In the US, only military hardware is hardened to withstand EMP. Imagine, NO personal computers (not even Macintoshes :gasp: ) -- now THAT, my friends, would be the end of Civilization!!
