Salt water is conductive. 0.6W/mK @ 25°C.
Yeah, but where's the electricity trying to go? It's a battery. The electricity wants to flow from the positive terminal to the negative one. It doesn't flow to ground or to random bits of metal/flesh or anywhere else. There's salt water between the terminals. Why would it flow through somebody?

Even in freshwater...I've used parts of an old telephone to shock fish.
You place the fish between the voltage generated by the magneto from the phone and the return point, so the electricity wants to flow through the fish. If you stick your hand, foot or other between the poles of the battery, you're getting zapped too. But probably not if you swim in the water.

Policymakers drawn to Trump’s tariff and tax ideas should go back to the drawing board. Otherwise, they might squelch the opportunity for fundamental tax reform by pursuing unprincipled, economically harmful, and nonsensical ideas.
