Michigan might ban high-tech weapon; Bills would add e-bomb to state's criminal code
Topic: Current Events 10:35 pm EDT, Jun  1, 2003

] Michigan lawmakers took a tentative first step Wednesday
] to criminalize a bizarre high-tech weapon called the
] e-bomb, which sounds really scary but might not exist at
] all.
]
] Acting on the better-safe-than-sorry model of
] legislating, the House Criminal Justice Committee voted
] unanimously to add e-bombs -- also called electromagnetic
] bombs -- to Michigan's criminal code along with dynamite
] and other explosives.

The "better-safe-than-sorry model"? Interesting..

] At Wednesday's committee meeting, one witness used the
] movie "Ocean's 11," in which thieves use an e-bomb to
] disable electronics for a casino heist, as an example
] of its use.

... when Hollywood drives security awareness.
