"20 cm diameter makes a circle that is 20 cm in diameter, or with a
radius
of 0.1 m. A = pi*r^2 = (3...)*(0.1 m)^2 = 0.03. I selected the 20 cm
diameter by holding a ruler up to my belly. Humans aren't really
shaped
like circles, but an approximately 20 cm diameter circular path will
exist in the pilot, it's good enough for a BOTE calculation."

Doh, your right Hansen I was being stupid. Though I would still have
reservations about even that strong of an electric field librating
enough free charge to do damage to the human body. For a lightening
strike or a high voltage line free charge is provided by an outside
source rather then being librated from their atomic bonds in the human
body.

Here are some exposure guidelines that I found:

IEEE suggest
20kV/m and greater in controlled laboratory setting and 5kV/m for
public exposure for less then 1Hz.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory suggest were simply insulating
material though it is not very specific for 5kV/m and up.

I remember you stating some were in the conversation that you think the
biological effects would kick in before the joule heating. I would
have to agree. The LLNL site also says exposure to 4 Tesla of static
magnetic field can cause head aches.
