But, I looked through the connector catalogs and I didn't see any double 
shielded Fahnestock OR Alligator clips..

More seriously, you hook both shields to the shield of the connector. 
Unless you want to get Triax connectors or use Tip/Ring/Sleeve 1/4" or 
1/8" phone plugs.  They're used for shielded twisted pair kinds of 
applications as well (MIL-STD-1553B, for instance) and for audio 
applications.
