I was going to ask for the source and then I thought, "I should just search my computer first" and sure enough I already had it. :-)

I've collected about every reputable doc on the Internet related to EMP calculation, with an eye to potentially modeling it.

To put it another way — the most technical & reputable stuff I've seen puts the threat in the middle of "everything" and "nothing."

you wouldn’t mind sharing that “technical & reputable” stuff for the common good would you?

I could see trying for an EMP attack prior to a bigger attack, to complicate the ability to reply, etc. But if pain is goal, target cities.

… but real stuff (e.g. ICBM controls) is shielded and, quite frankly, losing cable TV is not such a serious first volley, is it?
