Europeans don't get this sort of pandering. I was in Belgium at the Bruges 2000 mx5 meet at the weekend and whilst we were at a petrol station, we spotted one of the employees smoking a cigarette whilst on the phone... sat next to a pump.

Safe, huh?

I'm not sure what this is about ethernet not being very safe - 10-base-T is just 5v differential signalling. Yes, you need a large amount of isolation to meet ethernet specs, but you'd be hard pressed to find anything which gives out much higher voltages than that.
