Default USB Dangers

There is a very thin barrier between mains and usb output. If it

I assure you it is not my intention to do it! I expect many people do,
though, and it made me wonder. If I did want to, I'd probably think to
use my battery pack USB charger or, preferably, charge before bath, but
I don't want to drown my phone or tablets.

I was also imagining the next generation of shavers and toothbrushes
possibly having USB charging as standard? Or, wireless charging but with
the charging plate being fed by USB.
