 Many components don't have a 3 prong cord!

For most modern 120V devices with US power cords, a two-wire power cord can be used if the device is "double-insulated". You can look up the definition of that, but basically it means breaking the outer case (by dropping it, for example) would not expose dangerous wiring.
