Default Break the law by being a daredevil? (Curiosity questions only.)

Hi.

Although I would not probably ever do this in reality at
all due
to the danger, I'd be curious as to know what would
happen if one
opened up a computer power supply unit. I've heard that
one can
get in trouble with the law doing this (unless one has
the proper
qualifications?). Is that right, and does this mean that
even if I
didn't get zapped, and did this enough times (say 10
counts of
illegal opening of a power supply unit), I could spend
the rest of
my life in prison (maximum security prisons, too???)? And
furthermore, would just 1 count have _lifelong_
consequences, even
if I made it through the jail term? Are these worse or
better than
getting electrocuted?

Just curiosity questions: I wasn't really planning on
doing
something dumb.


Wow.
