Deet...Deet Deet Deet...Deet...Fjordnews...Deet...

Last week this appeared over on the BBC.

Basically some Pentagon policy paper was released/leaked, talking about the future of the United States electronic warfare goals. It's a pretty dry piece, but deep, nestled in the article is this line.

US forces should be able to "disrupt or destroy the full spectrum of globally emerging communications systems, sensors, and weapons systems dependent on the electromagnetic spectrum".

(if you haven't been visiting us for long...the "electromagnetic spectrum" is anything that uses electricity to work.)

Now, speaking as an emerging supervillain, this seems like a pretty understandable goal for any military unit...but speaking as a powerless American resort operator, it's kinda' troublesome.

Well, okay,
back to your Saturday.

Later...there'll be robots. Promise!
