Many years ago, a very stupid Marine stuck a
screwdriver in a radar display to discharge the tube, with
power still on. He died and the screwdriver planted itself several inches in the
prestressed concrete bunker
roof. It turns out he had his other hand holding tight to the grounded chassis as he
leaned over to discharge
it.
What radar? The supplies in military radar scopes are real ass kickers
compared to those found in computer and TV monitors.
