[Johnson] Fused Line Cord Plugs - Roy's diatribe

Both of you are correct of course, but why take a chance?
This is sorta like spraying deodorant all over the place.....
You have to make a stink to get rid of a stink....

I'm not disagreeing that retaining the 2 fuse plug is dangerous.

But it's my opinion that Roy carries his concern to the degree of
paranoia.

Yes it is dangerous. But far more people die from car accidents, falls
in the home, slips on ice, etc. Statistically, being killed from a
failed fuse in the dual fuse plug system ranks way low on the scale.
Might be better to expend the energy on advocating we all give up
driving, flying, walking, eating (seen how many people die from tainted
food over the last few years?) as it would probably save more lives :-)

However Roy has his pet project and I agree with his concern over the
danger.
