Yet, I still find these in fairly public places; when I'm traveling, I'll
carry a USB cable that has no data leads for the purpose of charging, just
in case I did something stupid like leave USB debugging on, as juice jacking
<http://www.howtogeek.com/166497/htg-explains-what-is-juice-jacking-and-how-worried-should-you-be/>
is a thing that exists.  I'm not trusting of using someone else's cable to
connect to power, so if I can't use my own data-free USB cable for the
task, nope...
