And immediately after he says he's unconvinced this is a concern, he states that he does, in fact, carry a tool with him that would protect him in these circumstances.
- ghaff 4y agoIn general, you can be unconvinced that various things are actually a meaningful real-world danger, but you choose to mitigate against them anyway if you can do so easily.

Which is very curious, because I would assume an attacker who is willing to risk burning such an attack would make sure their charging station is looking the least suspicious and most ordinary. I'm not sure if "find suspicious" is a good heuristic here. Although of course we don't know what he bases his suspicion on.
