#2 Given High Electromagnetic Pulse devices have already been discovered inside US by various Border Patrol efforts, in the last few months. It promises to get interesting.

Side Note: EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security issued a scary warning on China’s ability to conduct an Electromagnetic Pulse attack on the United States, 3 years ago. Indicating China has developed a drone based electromagnetic pulse weapon with about 100GW power.
