Quick Quiz
From the Department of Overreaction:
You're the CEO of an evil defense contractor who sells arms to terrorists. (If that wasn't bad, we know you're bad because you snarl all the time.) Unfortunately for you, the best Counter-terrorist agent in the world has traced a lead back to your company. They're searching through your files from one of your computers (they insisted), looking for evidence of your company's connection to terrorists. You tried to delete the files before they arrived, and can monitor them as they search through your network, but it's looking like if you don't do anything, their discovery of the incriminating files is inevitable.
Time's running out. If they find the files, the company you built from the ground up is finished. Do you:
1) Confess your sins and turn yourself in?
2) Cut off their network access, so they can't find the files?
3) Kill the power to the building, so they can't find the files?
4) Attempt to kill or maim them, so they can't find the files?
5) Set off your EMP Bomb, which you've been convenient developing in the same building, and while it may take about 15 minutes to detonate, it will effectively destroy everything electrical in an 8-block radius, so they can't find the files?
I think you know what the fictional CEO in question chose. This may prove to be the moment where "24" officially jumped the shark.

As I was reading the beginning of your post I thought, "Someone watched 24 tonight!" Dan and I did too. Was I the only one who thought the EMP looked like a butt? Just checking.
