One question regarding EMP
mrWHO
I know that EMP destroy all electric devices, but I have a question:
Do those devices must be power on (e.x If I shut down and un plug my PC from electicity net) or powered down devices must be shielded too (not count that if my PC survive I won't be able to run it because whole electric net would be fucked, I only wonder about devices).

No, it induces currents in circuits, powering down system does not save them from EMP. Faraday cages, however does.
