Ya, because that seemed extremely implausible. That's like getting a shot with nanoshells, with the frequency already tuned in on a thousand transmitters.

Nanoshells are microscopic, cellular-sized spheres of, say, gold. The thickness of the gold corresponds to a select signal, so if the thickness was 39145 units, then the frequency would be Frequency 39145 to dissolve the shells. If the shells are covering, say, a tiny bit of cyanide, and there were billions of these little gold-cyanide shells, then activating the sequence would promptly kill someone.

It would be illogical and unreasonable for a nation meant for war to have such a weakness. Using an EMP is like just taking all the oxygen away from Earth, and the taking what's left.

Seeeeeeeeee don't say I was wrong -.- xP
