I am not a registered electrician or a PE. But in the US Code, everything in a bathroom has to be on a GFI circuit. Clearly things that are commonly used in bathrooms are not subject to much in the way of safety rules, or hair dryers or electric razors would not be sold. Actually, all hair dryers have a GFI module in them, in cause the main GFI fails, as dropping a hair dryer into a bathtub could be very bad even if its turned off. Additionally, most US bathrooms don't have many electrical outlets. I have been in hotels that had TVs in the bathroom, so there must be some work arround on the mains power side.
