Ok, instead of breakers, how about a circuit which determines that
both sides of the line have voltage present? If one side drops out, it
disconnects the other. A pair of relays would do it. One relay's coil
across one side with its contacts controlling the other side, and a
second relay wired vice versa.

There are clamps available which hold the plug into the socket.

The worst part, IMO, is having extension cords draped across the
