Am I the only one who tried using a plastic scraper on a composite panel and watched the static spark?

I was cleaning a small section of a winglet on a 737 last week, and a tiny blue arc jumped from the scraper to the panel, which made me realize my shop's anti-static procedures for composite work might be a bit too casual, so what's your shop's actual protocol for this?

Yikes, that static can fry the hidden sensors!

Forget the sensors, that static could wipe the whole memory bank.
