Recently went to Elizabeth NJ's Liberty Science Center with the family and security at the door wanted to take the c304. I told them it was a multi-tool and not strictly speaking a knife. They didn't buy-in but they agreed that instead of confiscating it or forcing me to return it to the car, they would put it aside and hold it for me while I got the family set up.
By the time I got everyone set up and got back there was a new security guy there who didn't know what had been agreed and he had taken the c304 from it's place and thrown it in the confiscated bin. After a little persuasion and some help from a female security attendant who had been there earlier I got it back.
Just a tiny glimpse into life in Jersey.
And I thought California was bad............
