The master socket contains a sense resistor, and the lines are

Always assuming that your line is on an automatic tester, not all are,
and that the tester just happens to test your line as it's
disconnected from the master socket. Even then it's not likely to
result in more than a few bytes of storage used in the testers log
file.
