ATM and POS systems are NOT adequately protected. They "Should Be" fiber optic. The entire financial system in the USA should be fiber optic but it isn't. This to me is hypercritical. Stupid ignorance shuttles this into a closet.
Tens of people drop dead when their pacemakers quit. I suggest you talk with Boston Scientific for facts and they will be quick to debunk this myth.
Carrington AT&T wagonloads of telegraph wire sat wrapped in flammable oilcloth surviving without so much as a char. The entire system withstood inductance without damage.
Don't misinterpret this. A CME can be severe enough to rip earth's atmosphere away leaving us with far fewer problems and and no EMP authors
