So I forgot to get my tabs for my vehicle this last fall. My friendly neighborhood trooper (he was actually grumpy, but whatever) pulls me over for a friendly reminder along with a ticket.
I show up to the Thurston county courthouse this Monday. I'm wearing a nice pair of slacks and long sleeve dress shirt. Clean and presentable representing the people of my county. As I walk through the doors I empty my pockets of anything valuable, which includes my benchmade mini-griptillian folder. Now, I've had this knife for years, and have walked through security in that building several times without a problem, but today I must have seemed hostile. He looked at me and told me he had to keep the knife. I was a little shocked but I told him to do what he had to do.
Now, if any of you haven't seen one of these knives. Mine has a baby blue plastic handle, and the non-serrated(sp?) blade. It's a benchmade 556. It has a 2.91inch blade and is not exactly an intimidating looking knife.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
EDIT: I put an incorrect blade length
