Claim:
1. An apparatus to prevent a flow of power to an electronic device, comprising: a flexible, fluid-filled probe tube; a spiral, fluid-filled tube, mechanically and fluidically attached to the probe tube; a canister, in which the probe tube and spiral fluid-filled tube are enclosed; an electrically insulative element, wherein the insulative element is mechanically attached at a first end, within the canister, to a first end of the spiral tube, and wherein the insulative element is mechanically attached at the first end to a rotatable screw-based lever accessible by a user, wherein the insulative element rotates into a position as to block a flow of power from a power supply to an electrical interconnection between two electrical contacts of an electronic device, the rotation occurring based on a twisting motion of the spiral tubing or a rotational motion of the rotatable screw-based lever.
