Still, some defense and security experts doubt that EMP bombs would be the weapon of choice for terrorists.For one, devices can be protected or hardened against EMP. Sensitive electronic circuits, for example, can be encased in Faraday cages — metal structures that intercept and redirect excessive EMP energy into the ground like a lightning rod.Another mitigating factor in the minds of some experts is the limited effectiveness of conventional EMP weapons. Robert Sherman, a defense analyst with the Federation of American Scientists, says that small e-bombs like FCGs have to be placed very close to potential civilian targets such as a telephone center."If you can get that close to a communication node, you can just use a truck bomb," says Sherman. "There are a lot of other things that people should be worried about."
