I don't know. This is one of those situations where I feel the effects of an EMP are often overstated in popular media (T2K included) as a means of popular wish fulfillment, while the degree to which the military/industrial assets are secured is another sort of fiction.
I keep reading vague information about EMP shielding and military testing but it's often hedged by the caveat that these are just 'test conditions' etc. I'm sure there's some pretty good hard information out there, and lot's I'd probably not have access to (as a civilian), but I often wonder to what degree our electronic security claims are a safety blanket, even for our troops.
