Wouldn't wrapping it in rubber or some other electrical insulator solve this problem? Or we could just, y'know, put a wire between Liam and the camera which shocks him every so often...

When ever about to use any of the raspberry pi electronics please ground yourself. This can come by using either an anti-static wrist band or touching a grounded metal object e.g. metal pipes along the ceiling in the IT base.
