The point is, how did Apple manage to get away with it for all these years? why weren't they enforced to ship only the properly grounded adapter?

With a trotted meme/slogan like "You're holding it wrong" sorta explains it all does it not?

I say this as a happy MacBook Air owner but i'm traveling soon and this had better not be an issue...

Because the fanboys will suck up everything but a touch screen on their laptop.
