That's a good suggestion. Leakage is one thing, but enough leakage you can feel it might take a higher voltage. I just measured between my reader case and ground, 22v. That's plugged into 120V 60Hz. On the scope it's a pretty clean sine wave. There is some current limiter, only about 1.1 ma. of flow. I actually think the limit is 3.5 ma., or maybe that's just where GFCIs trip.
