It is perfectly possible to do safe work on live wiring, although health and safety regulations generally require that this is done only as a last resort. It does occur quite regularly, though, and as long as it's done properly the risk is minimal.
Considering government usually has an exemption clause to health and safety anyway, I don't think the FBI are going to be worrying about it that much.
- yardie 17y agoCan you name one common instance of where working on live wires is done quite regularly. I'm not talking about the guys flying around in helicopters inspecting HV lines. Firemen don't even do that. They go straight to the breaker and kill it for the building. So where else is handling live wiring done. I'm honestly curious.

- russss 17y agoAdding new breakers is one situation where live working happens quite a lot in a commercial setting. Power companies use a whole range of live working - the guys in helicopters are a minority, but there's a lot more mundane stuff done live: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live-line_working http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live-line_working
