Measuring the current draw of a modular

[Christopher_List at Sonymusic.Com]

This may seem like a silly question - but how do you guy recommend
measuring the current draw of your modular?

Do you just snip the positive voltage line, strip it and run it through
your multimeter via alligator clips?

Is this safe?
I'm scared :).
I don't want to fry a whole mess of chips by turning on only half of the
power supply...

- Thanks,
Chris
