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.

In truth. The GFCI is NOT there to protect YOU. It is there to protect the circuits. That by doing it's job, it also protects you, is just a bonus
Absolutely wrong.
Most of the devices don't care where the current goes OUTSIDE the working parts of the device.
Human beings certainly care though.
GFCI is a safety device. Circuit breakers are equipment protection.
