RE: If the Cooper / Cruze outlet....

I felt the safety ground contacts -- they are attached to the backstrap, and slide out when the backstrap is removed. Didn't detect any substance on them visually or by feel. The contacts for hot and neutral can't be accessed as they are completely enclosed in the housing, and the two halves of the housing are ultrasonically welded together (according to my neighbor). You'd likely destroy the outlet trying to separate them. I guess something could be put in through the plug slots, but I'm guessing that this EMI/RFI substance is applied to the exterior only.
