 What might be the implications for computer wearers. Is this the beginning
 of drive-by wearable computer infoshootings? Just imagine the headlines,
 "The InfoShot heard round the world." >>

Neal Stephenson wrote about an EMP gun used to disable vehicles and computers 
in his novel CRYPTONOMICON (which is excellent, by the way, and highly 
recommended to this list).  How can I protect my house, computer, car, etc. 
from this kind of disruption?

Curious,
Daryl
