Protecting your Electronics from EMPs
Technology has advanced, and with it, there are new threats upon us. This is demonstrated by something like the electromagnetic pulse (EMP). This is normally a short burst of electromagnetic energy, which can occur in nature, or be man-made, where it is created intentionally as a weapon. In nature, a good example is a lightning strike, which can be large enough to cause physical harm.
The EMP burst can render your electronics useless when it completely kills off the electronic chips in them. You therefore need to have adequate protection for your electronics. The fact that you need to move about with them means that this protection has to be mobile. The bag is designed to keep out any transmissions from outside of the pulses. Its design is based on the Faraday cages, which were used by the prominent scientist in the past to block electromagnetic fields or pulses from reaching what he stored in there.
There are many electronic pulses that do not cause harm, and several that are even used in communication. They are unfortunately able to be interfered with and hacked. This is where you will need the Faraday bags. You will see plenty of devices capable of emitting these EMPs. This means that our gadgets are both capable of and vulnerable to attacks with the EMPs. The damage caused may be intentional, or accidental. In any case, chances are high that you could easily have a damaged device on your hands. It therefore makes sense to ensure that any free device is left inside the Faraday bags. You may go as far as leaving such devices in the airplane mode setting.
You will find these bags in different shapes and sizes out there. You cannot lack for something appropriate to keep your electronics in when you need to. As much as there is a slim chance you will ever be targeted in such an attack, you will rest easy knowing that your devices are safe from such pulses, whether intentional or otherwise. Save for the electronics you carry, the bag will also keep the data your cards hold safe, such as the ATM card, or driver’s license.
You will thus find it prudent to invest in a Faraday bag, more so since you will need to carry your electronics with you, such as your laptop, tablet, smartphone, car keys, and even the cards. These bags are presented in the most stylish manner, and will not look any odder than what other bags out there look like. They only come lined with this protection, to ensure that no matter what happens, your devices shall remain safe, and completely usable in the event an EMP goes off.
