What is the difference between a hair dryer and any other piece of line powered equipment when you drop it in the water?
That would apply to shavers, curling irons or even the charger for electric tooth brushes.
The current in any case is only limited by the branch circuit O/C device assuming all other ground fault/immersion protection fails.
Are you suggesting that we should eliminate the basin receptacle?

I couldn’t get the .AVI you sent me to play.
I did see the mythbusters show where they defeated all the safety devices and dropped a hair dryer in the tub. It was pretty much the same thing that happens if you drop any hot conductor in water.
A 13kv primary dancing in a puddle is pretty exciting too. (last year’s “Charley” storm)
