BTDT :)  And with high impedance drive, such that hanging a scope probe on
the signal line would trip the system.

Then one gets into interesting things such as induction monitoring, super

Shielded cables with the shield being monitored for integrity via some nifty
techniques have also been used as part of high security systems.
