Replacing Receptacles to Meet the NEC
"A grounding-type receptacle that is GFCI protected without an equipment grounding conductor is a SAFER installation than a grounding-type receptacle with an equipment grounding conductor (if GFCI protection is not provided). This is because the GFCI protection device will clear a ground-fault when the fault-current is 5 milliamperes (+ or – 1 milliampere), which is less than the current level necessary to cause serious electric shock or electrocution"Cut-Throat
