On: A briefcase-size radio weapon could wreak havoc in our networked world

Just to be clear - you're talking about Nuclear Explosively Pumped Flux Compression Generator correct?

From 2010: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2552508/posts

"BP with oversight from NATO and the help of several government agencies has successfully tested a Nuclear explosively pumped flux compression generator (EPFCG). It is a device used to generate a high-power electromagnetic pulse by compressing magnetic flux using high explosive."

This part was curious:

"The USGS and Canada Earthquake center are reporting a mild earthquake in the region registering between 3.8 and 4.2 magnitude."

I agree though, getting something this powerful into a suitcase would be a feat of engineering and would leave the operator in a very dangerous position.

Link generates a Malware warning, and Free Republic is a pretty fringey site to begin with. I suggest you try to find a primary source.

No, they don't have to be nuclear explosions, just conventional high explosives.
