If kids aren't trying to pull them out, the inserts are going to end up away from of the outlet somehow. And then you have the danger of pulled plugs when an outlet is being used. I've blogged about this recently too. Leviton makes tamper-proof receptacles (which are actually becoming mandatory per 2008 NEC Codes) and they're sort of the other side of these sliding plates. What's great is that they only accept receptacle contacts - nothing else can enter the outlet. I’m definitely in agreement about how plastic inserts just aren’t up to par.
