Nah, teens and nurses would just randomly dance (without music) in public for attention.

But seriously, between this and the video with the exploding bike battery, if there was a way to turn smart phones into small explosive devices, that would be some real shite.

From the article:
"Think of the analogy from the 1960s, which describes that in a nuclear explosion, only the cockroaches would survive. In the same vein, in an electromagnetic attack, the 'cockroaches' (a nickname for electronic components in electrical circuits) will not survive this time.

I still can’t fathom how some terrorist group hasn’t snagged at least one nuke in the past 75 years.
I can. Do you think there’s nukes just sitting around for the taking?

Sounds like propaganda to garner more support for Israel.

I’m really surprised a terrorist hasn’t tried a drone attack in some populated area in the US or Europe. I feel like that wouldn’t be that hard to pull off.

There absolutely were during the collapse of the Soviet Union. Read up on some of the books written around that time by the people the US sent over there to chase them down with suitcases full of cash. Even Obama's future SecDef Ash Carter was in on the fun, and he was personally convinced that the Iranians and Iraquis probably got away with securing WMDs before they could get to all of them.

I’m going to buy it. But this feels like the kind of thing I should get in paperback and not in audiobook.
