Earth pin missing

I noted several of these connecting audio visual equipment below a control desk in a large church complex. You can see that the earth pin has been deliberately removed. Must have been done before the date on the PAT stickers! Anyway, I know some of these audio guys have strange perceptions and I am wondering was the earth pin removed to avoid interference.

    Not if the sawn off pin is left in the socket ?




    I repaired a battery charger for a bathroom fitter a bit back and fitted a new plug, he said he would have to dig the earth pin out of the extension lead when I finished.
