Hi Matt, about your concern, it does bear thinking about since the dangers of energized plumbing are many.
I fixed a problem for a camp owner years ago who was getting shocks while taking a shower. The drain had become live due to a chafed piece of old cloth type NM laying on the metal drain piping under the camp, and this was isolated from the shower walls and hot/cold pipes by the stone shower base. There was 110 volts on the drain grate and he got blasted when his foot was touching this and he touched the faucet handles.
I agree with the others that you have to be realistic in assessing the possibilities, however.
JBD, LOL, but you forgot the metal flush handle...if that is energized and you are grounded and you lean back...well, OUCH!
