Here is an additional approach, offered for comments and trial by anyone who wishes:

RF line bypass caps should be installed as follows:

One type X from Line to Neutral, after the fuse.
One type Y from neutral to chassis.

With this arrangement, a shorted cap (they almost never fail) will cause neither danger nor fire.  
There is also little chance of making a voltage divider which puts half line voltage on an ungrounded chassis.

This is part of a "diatribe" I have with information, suggestions and warnings about line cords and bypassing. - Glad to send to anyone asking for it.  Those who read it will learn how a fused line cord plug can make a widow of your wife.
