I cannot imagine anything more dangerous.
Many of the devices and systems that it is suggested be connected by this meansare in the category of safety of life.The threat of deliberate or accidental interference to metal connectos is bad enough, but doing it to critical microwave transmissions boggles the mind.
As far as weight is concerned wouldn't fibre optics be better with high bandwidth and less interference-prone. I thought that the military had been doing it this way for some time. Perhaps somebody could correct me if not.
