This is what happens when politicians start practicing outside the scope of 
their abilities.

An arc fault interrupter instead of a plug containing a substantial inter 
support? -  as the European plugs have had as long as I can remember.

We have no insertion extraction force specification for socket outlets? - as 
the CEE and other national standards require in Europe..- CEE 7, Clause 22.

  I think the answer to the problem exists.  The 2002 version of the National 
  Electric Code will require Arc Fault Interrupters in bedrooms.

  See the link below from the CPSC for details.
