Actually, I am in favor of the "inter-system bonding terminal" concept. Some of the crap that goes on out there is mind boggling. I was just talking to my son who is a CATV installer in Atlanta. He told me horror stories of installers, mostly piece-meal satellite hacks, who will bond to anything metal. Gas meter piping is no exception in their minds. He said that the latest trend with these jacklegs is to connect their ground to the hose bib, despite the fact that the house is plumbed with PEX or CPVC!

I do have to admit that this also gives the plumbers who are using CSST to have a secure place to bond their crap to as well.

Don't get me started on this '08 NEC code. I think it stinks and I think there are too many manufactures on the code making panel. All they are doing is trying to sell more of there products. Now having said that, Do they have to be tamper proof also?
