As long as the unit is completely off, you are probably safe sticking your hands inside. It is true that the CCFL needs about 1.8Kv to operate, however the typical circuits used to develop this voltage do not use large capacitors where some charge may remain. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong. I'd be more worried about damaging or contaminating the actual LCD glass.
