OT: There used to be a mil-spec for portable computers. I remember lugging around a mil-spec XT clone that was also tempestized (EMI suppressed for security reasons) in the early 80s to trade shows for the manufacturer. The thing weighed over 30 lbs without the separate power supply. But you could check it as luggage. I imagine if the enclosure could keep EMI in, it could prolly keep EMP out...
