I saw a flier from GE that they have a two pole device also. I'm not sure what your comment about Enron has to do with AFCI, but I can tell you:
1. Electrical fires are a problem (43,000 a year, and arcing faults are a major contributor to those fires.
2. We (the company that invented and has the patent on the first circuit breaker) was the first to develop and market a technology that can dramatically reduce the incidence of electrical arcing.
and:
3. Independent organizations concerned with safety (Consumer Products Safety Commission, National Fire Protection Agency, National Association of State Fire Marshals, Missouri Burn Center, etc.) have endorsed the technology.
