So, I was wondering, I don't know a lot about EMPs for example, but I think that if one ever went off that anything electronic in the area that was running at the time would no longer work, whether it was AC powered or battery powered. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if that's the case, wouldn't some things electronic that were not connected to a power source of any kind still work if then connected to a power source AFTER the EMP was gone, so to speak (unless of course another one was set off)?
I was thinking that if you had something, like a gun safe or other lock box for example, that used an electronic keypad lock, and it became inoperable for whatever reason, including fire or EMP, if you had a spare keypad for that device that you could then put a fresh battery in and plug into the device that you may still be able to gain access to that device on short notice.
Any reason that would not be the case?
I know the EMP part of this is a little "tin foil hat" kind of thinking, but as sophisticated as our society is, it would certainly be an option some organizations or entities might want to use against us, either as a primary goal, or part of another mission, to the point main stream politicians and news agencies discuss the possibility. But even EMP aside, a spare keypad doesn't seem completely insane, seems like a fairly reasonable level of preparedness for a potential point of failure.
I just know a lot of people avoid electronic locks citing reasons like this, so I was wondering if a spare keypad would lessen this concern. Not for quick access SD stuff, but other things you may want to get to if something goes wrong and you need your documents or extra guns to move them or something, after a failure of the keypad.
Any thoughts?
