the chances are so minimal, its not worth the effort IMHO
it's mainly down to the fact you earthed yourself when touching the case
ideall straps "should" be used, but touching the case usually a enough
except i "ALWAYS" use a strap when inserting a new blade in a 6500 (cisco equipment) , as they cost 5k-20k a blade
and i dont want to blow one
