Really? What are they in danger of? Incoming AC is transformed,
rectified, filtered, and regulated. How many line gremlins are going to
get through all that? The "surge suppressor" and "line conditioner"
shucksters are laughing their way to the bank with the protection racket
payouts of the ground-pin worshipping masses.
