OK, I was doing a favor for my daughter, filing some paper work for her to the friend of the courts so she might be able to get some child support from her baby's dad.
The FOTC offices are in the district court building so no weapons allowed. They have sherrif's deputies at the door, with metal detectors and x-ray scanners like they use at the airport.
I enter carrying my cell phone, PDA and my car keys and the paper work for the FOTC. I know I have a "SMALL" pocket knife on the key ring that is disguised to look like a standard key. I have had it for 20 years. I have taken it through airport security (pre 9/11) before.
I figure the 2" blade isn't considered a weapon. I put the keyring and PDA and Cell phone in the basket he hands me so I cna go through the metal detector.
The deputy immediatly reaches in and pick up the key-knife. He smiles and says no weapons allowed, and no cell phones either. I then notice the sign that says no cameras are allowed. Neither my PDA or cell phone takes pictures, but it's no big deal so I tell him "No problem, i'll be right back" He smiles and says, I''ll be here!"
I return to the car and place everything in the car, go through the security check point, drop off the paperwork. On the way out I tell the deputy, "I'm impressed, no one ever notices that knife. You have really keen eyes."
The deputy says "Thanks"
