I would say yes. The near field would have high levels
and the electrostatic field would now be an issue.

Sorry Barry, but I think ESD testing would be riot ...
On another note, just like Part 68 is a two way standard
(protects the line from accidental power cross from the
primary to secondary it also protects the end user from
an accidental power cross if a car hits a telephone and
crosses over street power to the line and ultimately the
end user), you'd have the same concern or more when
attaching a human to a telephone line.
