A discharged TV "tube" (CRT) will unfortunately charge back up to as high as 1,000 volts even when it is sitting by itself (such as on a shelf) outside of the TV! After a couple of big shocks I no longer let it kick me on my but. Most of that is caused by fear. Instead I pull my arm back. Lot less dangerous than head or back injuries.
Regarding HV CS. These transformers are deadly. I'm sure that most of you know this. With a capability of 30mA there is more than enough to do you in. This is why I am very leery about using this method. What could be worse that possibly contacting 5 or 10,000 volts with wet hands?
