Mapping a massive assault on Singapore's notorious gangsterism, police debated issuing identification cards to Singapore's 7,000 known hoods and pimps.

Data on the electromagnetic effects of the blasts showed that the upper atmosphere was so disturbed by ionizing radiation "that some radio waves were absorbed or scattered" for hours afterward.

Obvious conclusion: a megaton bomb exploded high overhead just ahead of an all-out missile attack could disrupt vital defense communications for a few crucial hours...
