I found a few of those on tour, too. I had six flats in 3200 miles, four of which were caused by those wires. Three of the six (and two of the four) occurred on the last day, along a ~30 mile stretch of shoulder that was in horrible disrepair, so it collected a lot of debris. (For whatever reason, the shoulder of a divided highway was not maintained in one county.) That was on four lane restricted access highway, but not interstate.
