It might kill a few mobile phones too, but that would be a small price
to pay to defend democracy.

Surfing through the over the air TV the other day while checking the
electronic program schedules, I ran across an infomercial from
some outfit selling a portable countertop induction cooking element.

What kind of effective range do these things have for destroying
electronics? I gather that these things put out a magnetic field
with several hundred watts in the 20-100 kHz range.

Yes, over a distance of 0 to 2 centimeters(one inch).
At 4 inch it would not heat a snowfake enough to melt.
