DoD's latest standard for protection against electromagnetic effects, MIL-STD-464, "Electromagnetic Environmental Effects -- Requirements for Systems," provides a bare 17 pages of dry prescriptions for the official standard, then 90 astonishing pages of ways the standard is to be applied in addressing unexpected EM misfortunes, like ordance spontaneously exploding, planes crashing, ships out of control, radar meltdown, personnel fried, and so on. http://jya.com/mil-std-464.htm (346K plus images) What comes out of this critical "anecdotal" material, not yet subject to precise standardization, is what Tesla learned early this century: the dreadful power of accumulated, boosted EM caused by unexpected interaction of human electronic inventions and natural EM forces. Such as some speculate brought down TWA 800. What also comes out is that each unit of every major weapons system, theirs and ours (and civilian devices) can be identified by its unique EM "fingerprint" -- nuclear sub, B1B, F117, AF One, your family Sports-ute, your chattering computer, cellphone and pager. As if anyone except the NSA can siphon and sort through them all, the compromising emanations are Out There awaiting receivers of secret messages unintentionally sent. A loud and clear message is that electronification of culture is causing a build-up of powerful latent lightning looking for a ground to blast, a sub to sink, a bomber to shatter. Be prepared for a technological attack, to be blamed on terrorists, but really caused by the expected EM effects Tesla warned about.
