"William A. Radasky, president of Metatech Corp., which specializes in analyzing EMI disturbances and their effects on electronic systems and subsystems, is heading a group within the IEEE EMC Society to study the potential for intentional interference against publicly accessible computing systems—including e-voting machines. "I personally believe that EMI could be a problem for voting machines, especially cell-phone interference," he says. "It's just a matter of knowing where to place the phone."

1. These products have been produced for years with no test standard

You can be that there are test standards for banking equipment and medical equipment. Why not EVMs?

4. there is an article on EVMs & security in this month's IEEE Spectrum

That is the magazine of the International Assoc of Electronic and Electrical Engineers.
