Ohhh - groooan- can you spell EMP effects on ALL electrical combined with NO hauptic feedback ? EMP effects are much more likely with military- and even with shielding- a LOT of things go poof...
But for a more detailed explanation go to military thread

BTW-The initial subsidy argument/issues re Airbus started in year 2000 by a Boeing union.- In mid 2001- Boeing hired an ex deputy sec of defense ( Rudy deLeon ) to pursue WTO issues independent of Union. When 911 happened, things turned to worms re commercial- and a suggestion to prop up commerical with insurance and lease 767 tankers to keep at least that line open . Boeing then stifled Union work on a WTO complaint and elected to push the tanker deal since Japenese and Italian tankers were aborning at that time. Since funding was not available to purchase, a lease arrangement was proposed. But Boeing furbared that whole thing up via major mismanagement and the rest is history.
