In my experience public charging stations don't have cables, only sockets, but yeah, leaving a hanging cable there is sure to catch a few people.

Now that I think of it, the charging sockets themselves on airport benches or on the dedicated desks could also be compromised easily. Is there a way to detect something fishy is happening?
