Will GFCI work with items without equipment ground
I know it's probably a dumb question but my wife's hair dryer is old and has no equipment ground. Wanted to be sure she is still protected if it should be dropped into water or otherwise shorted.

The GFCI would trip the circuit IF the water has at least a capacitive path, if not a conductive path, that would conduct at least 5 mA to Ground. IMO.
