It occurs to me that the cable cutter system is probably intended for the wires 
that are more difficult to see.  I seem to remember that many wire strikes are 
on the earth wire which runs above the main high-tension cables.

As for your big wires, Ken, it's less likely that a pilot or crew will not see 
them.
