Yes, but people who don't care about safety and/or are cheap aren't
likely to use them either. And you have to only use that one. If
some repair guy, (like the AC repair guy that the code is worried about)
shows up and just plugs a regular cord in, they are not protected.
Or if you have one GFCI cord and need more at Xmas, same thing, etc.
And none of that protects against dropping a hair dryer into the tub.
the GFCI cords are certainly better than nothing. And any repair
guys should have them, since they don't know what they are dealing
with at each house.

I have seen some hair dryers with a GFCI , or something like it) on the
dryer cord.
