    It can also kill a lineman working on the power lines outside your house, thinking they’re not energized.

      It could. But, there’s more layers to this swiss cheese model of safety. For example, the lineman’s procedure is to ground out, then isolate, then test and to ground out. They’d need to skip both ground out and test to be electrocuted by an asshole with a generator.
