This week on Middle Theory, we look at electromagnetic pulse weapon (EMP) attacks, and whether nations like North Korea are a legitimate concern for such threats.It seems that new regulations are coming down the pipe from the Transportation Security Administration, who are changing some of the key requisites for security screenings in relation to domestic travel. Micah tells us about his own recent experiences with the TSA, and we also look at some recent incidents that may raise concerns. We also look at how countries in Canada and Mexico are cashing in on the lack of regulations about water extraction from the ground... does this essentially constitute a sort of "filtration tax" in some countries?Then we look at the frightening issues related to the potential for an electromagnetic pulse weapon (EMP) attack, and whether certain "rogue nations" like North Korea and Iran should be considered more threatening than they presently are. Could EMP attacks be the single greatest threat to America, and other nations, existent today? We say YES.Special thanks goes out to those who sent along donations to the program this week: Tom RommeSteven WalkerEmilio VillalpandoSteve EdwardsMark Hankins IIJennie VongvithJohn Jolly If you like Middle Theory and want to help support the show, you can donate to the program here:We are now also offering SUBSCRIPTION accounts for those who would like to make recurring monthly payments to Middle Theory.
