I've been bit dozens of times now from carrying the secondary. I figure that 
after all the burns, shocks, inhalation hazards, EMF, skin absorbtion of 
chemicals, falls, lacerations, and WAY too much time in front of this 
computer, I'll be lucky to see 30. :)

Is there any creative way to "Safety" the secondary while carrying it?
Conductive shoes perhaps? hmmmmmmm
