I have never seen one of those... gawd.
When we built our shop, I asked the electrician if I could install the outlets to save some money. No problem. When the inspector looked at them, he was befuddled with the outlets since they were not the non-tamper type. (sh**, this is a shop... a man cave...) I informed him I was the fella that installed them --I did this to keep our electrician outta trouble. Wrong answer. He fined me $80, made me get a non-commercial license, and I replaced all 44 outlets with the frigging tamper-resistant outlets.
I'm tempted to reinstall the original outlets. The non-tamper outlets are a pain. I might try jamming a screwdriver in one just to torture it. Learn it up.

Geez! You ought to write that inspector into one of your books Tony. Then, a week after he inspects Charlie's shop, Cove catches him fishing without a license...
I probably ought to look into the laws in New York and New Mexico. Never heard of a non-commercial license... Hardware stores sure sell a lot more outlets, switches, etc. than could be covered by the licensed electricians out there!
