From what you said, does that still work on the newer Android devices, only
with an extra step to select MTP mode?

Yes, you get a notification in the pull-down shade to enable transfers
instead of just charging ... you don't want to risk public charging
sockets poking viruses onto your phone do you?

You could use a USBcondom to "cut" the data lines, but what about a
charger containing a USB killer?
